Suggestion

dont change the hood crest to silver - esp on a 40th - IMO even though it is reversible a 40th should stay fairly true to its "as-built" state - I vote no (just me)

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thinking of switching hood crest to silver. But, i think a silver crest with gold ones on the wheels may look a bit odd. The problem is I cannot seem to find any silver crest wheel caps that match my 40th Anniversaries shot-blasted and polished wheel finish. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I have looked online with not much luck.

POST 2Original post

this is an opinion dont change the hood crest to silver - esp on a 40th - IMO even though it is reversible a 40th should stay fairly true to its "as-built" state - I vote no (just me)

POST 3Original post

I think or in my opinion all crests on the car should match. Buy some swaybars or something if the mod bug is biting

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

LOL, I am kinda inclined to agree with you guys. I just thought might look nice as my car is silver and the one on there now has a lost one of the red bars. On a side note (pun intended) just orders some FisterD mufflers

POST 5Original post

WTG on the fister's There are 2 OEM crests offered at sunset. One is about $50 and the other is about $120 IMO the higher priced one is worth every penny. The chaep one has no depth or features, its flat and boring

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Do you have the OEM part number for the better one?

POST 7Original post

I did have it but all the paperwork went with the car when I sold it.... when you call Sunset they will offer you one of two... just dig deep and get the more $ one.... If you live by a dealer or know someone with a newer car (997 +) you can look at the "new on" looks cheap IMO... well, it looks fine on the 997's but back date it and it looks really poor

POST 8Original post

I got mine from bumperplugs. Not cheap, but the quality is excellent..

POST 9Original post

Funny thing... The hood crest is gold, steering crest is silver, wheels are usually black..... Dem dam Germans.

Maybe Eric at Bumperplugs could paint some wheel caps with the black/silver crest to closely match your wheels. They also have the silver hood crests. You want to make sure "your rug matches the curtains."

Finally......words I can understand.

POST 12Original post

Would a hot chick walking across the cross walk notice. No. I prefer hard wood floors!

POST 13Original post

The 2000 C4's came with Silver Crests on the hood and steering wheel. The Carrera script was also Silver and the Calipers where also Silver. Not sure if the 1999 or other C4s where like this or if it was a "Millennium" special. The wheel caps where silver but did not have crest - instead had "C4". Not sure what Porsche pricing on any of this old stuff would be.
