Default Looking for a good source for a custom hood crest

I just picked up a 2007 C2 a couple of weeks back and would like to add some custom touches to it with out going overboard. I have just added clear front turn signal markers and replaced the silver Carrera logo with a black one. The car is black with black Victor wheels and I just wanted to remove the gold hood crest for something a little more subtle. I would like to find a genuine logo that has been refinished rather than going aftermarket. Any suggestions?

I have a black one I never installed. I can post a pic later if you're interested.

Search in the Classifieds. There is someone there who does this as a business/sideline. That's where I got mine.

I have a matte black badge and it's great. The gold bling just didn't go with my car. I also de-badged the back. Only issue with the front crest I bought, is that the color faded/wore off. I've been touching it up, and now use a Sharpie. Works great and it's lasted pretty well. Btw, I use the sharpie a lot on my car. And electrical tape on my lower front bumper... Maybe you should ignore my comments.

Might check with bumperplugs. They have one pictured on their site but it might be out of stock.

I thought about de-badging the back but then went with the black logo and have been pretty happy with it. Sharpie on your car?!

I forgot to mention how well it works on the road rash on my black wheels! It's like a miracle... I guess you'd need to see it...
