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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can someone tell me why the silver porsche crest looks so much better than the stock gold?

POST 2Original post

Have you ever heard the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" That's like asking why is a blonde prettier than a brunette -- it's all down to personal preference.

POST 3Original post

Because it's actually platinum. I've got a silver car and just felt it looked cleaner, like how albino pumpkins look better than orange pumpkins....

POST 5Original post

Quotes source post: 7140063

I think it is because all of the other trim is silver/chrome (headlights, exhaust...)...there is no gold anywhere.

POST 6Original post

I was on the fence when replacing mine and when I found out the Porsche never made a silver one, the choice was easy. I do like the silver - my bodyman suggested no hood crest, I almost did that too.... In the end I went with the old version OEM (not the new cheap *** one)

POST 7Original post

I agree with silver looking better with silver cars... But I do like the flash of gold against black... As soon as I can decide which one I'd rather have for Christmas (the cool-looking 911 key thing or the hood badge) I'll pick the other one up in January... Rudy

POST 8Original post

FWIW, the silver ones (built from OEM crests) are getting more expensive and harder to find.

POST 9Original post

Where can you pick up a silver crest? I don't have the color crests on my wheels, and my car is black, so I think the silver will look much better.

POST 10Original post

I picked up my silver crest and center caps from Ralph Booth some time ago. Very impressed with the work. The center caps use a silver hood crest so they are huge!

POST 11Original post

+1 black/silver. gold looks 80's. silver matches the headlights (washer caps), clear side markers, etc. no brainer for me.

POST 12Original post

Same here, I also replaced my old-fading gold one to a silver-version... It really change the look of the car from the front especially on midnight-blue metallic or other darker color cars. Now it also matched my GT3 wheel center caps, as well as my steering wheel emblem and gear shifter ****... I love it.

Ain't that the truth.... Rennlist sponsor BumperPlugs.com is up to $279 for them now. I think I paid $135 for mine a few years back....

POST 14Original post

i just installed mine, really happy with the results, on a silver car it looks awesome

POST 15Original post

stuck in the 80's - pics of my new crest installed.... Not bad for a car with 113k miles (and newly painted hood )

POST 16Original post

I like the gold for 2 reasons: 1) It looks good on my SY car and 2) those are the colors of Baden-Wurttemberg und Stuttgart, nicht silber!

POST 18Original post

GOLD I'm actually on the other side with this discussion. Thanks to Buzztt for the great camparison pic.... I LOVE the gold, no comparison in my book. I think it reminds me a bit more of the German flag. I CAN see how some cars would look pretty damn good with silver though.

Yup, PCNA has once again unleashed the lawyers. Boothe stopped offering them quite a while back IIRC. I have 2, one my 996Turbo and one my wife's 993 Targa.
