Default Question on white car / black wheel 997.1 RS

Hi Guys ,
For anyone with first hand knowledge of this would you be able to tell me what color the RS logo on your wheel center caps is on .1 RS's in Carrera white with factory gloss black wheels ? Some pics it appears the logo is white and others it appears silver . Checking in with the Porsche dealer it appears the center caps in gloss black are only available with orange or green logos . I'm contemplating a switch to gloss black wheels and figure I'll need to either source new caps or make some sort of mask to paint my existing caps .
Thanks,
Bryan

I believe mine came with a colored crest and not the RS logo. I made a set of caps with a white RS logo. It was just OK. I believe the bumperplugs folks at one time made a set of caps with a white RS on them. Not cheap. The cheapest solution would be to get a set of Vinyl RS stickers made and put them on plain black center caps.

Thanks Rob . I figure I'll need to make a mask / stencil to paint the RS logo after painting the cap black . I've got PCCB's and might do them yellow .

These guys paint center caps. They did mine (black with white letter) and did a great job.

Thanks - I have now seen the RS logo in both white and silver along with a couple with the Porsche crest on the cap . Neither the white or silver on black caps are available from Porsche at this point . If available I'd probably have gone with the white , but having to paint my own I'll likely go Speed Yellow to match my calipers and seat belts .

I just did this a year ago... Eric at Bumperplugs is the best. He hand painted black caps with Speed Yellow 'GT3" for me. Top notch guy.
