On his website, I did see that bottom gasket installed below the Silver Crest itself so that is why I ask here for confirmation...

Suggestion

However, it's a bit of a process to get the new gasket on, so a lot of folks (like me) just re-use the existing gasket which is a much easier fit.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have search the internet for this Silver Hood Crest and have seen some vendors selling a kit that include a black gasket that goes under the crest (different than the 2 round rubber gaskets for the 2 pins), but other vendors don't include that... Does the OEM Silver crest includes this gasket? I appreciate any feedback from people who has done this Mod. Thanks...

POST 2Original post

Yes, OEM includes the plastic gasket to go under the emblem itself.

POST 3Original post

Yes, it should include the gasket. However, it's a bit of a process to get the new gasket on, so a lot of folks (like me) just re-use the existing gasket which is a much easier fit.

POST 4Original post

Bao, have you checked with Eric at BumperPlugs. I think he has some Silver Crests and he is a Rennlist Sponsor.

POST 5Original post

I picked up a silver crest but the pins that insert through the hood aren't in the same position as on the original crest, so the replacement will sit lower. Anyone else experience that?

POST 6Original post

Hummm, the oem silver crest I installed fit just like the one I replaced. It came with a new gasket which was tough to put on. Put the gasket in some hot water to soften it up, this make the install a bit easier.

Thanks Tim & All for your feedback on this Mod, greatly appreciate it... YES, right now I am considering Eric at Bumperplugs because I had bought other stuff from him in the past with no issues (Alu gauge rings, bumper/door plugs, and clear side-markers). On his website, I did see that bottom gasket installed below the Silver Crest itself so that is why I ask here for confirmation... Thanks all again. Cheers,

POST 8Original post

According to Porsche - they have never made a silver hood crest. All the ones you see are aftermarket.

That was the answer I got from a couple of dealers when I tried to buy it through their parts departments.

POST 11Original post

I bought my Silver Hood Crest from Eric at Bumperplugs, actually drove over there and picked it up from him. I did not get a new gasket. I actually didn't think about it. The old one should be fine.

POST 12Original post

No the silver is not a oem porsche part...... the silver looks much better on my silver car and the fit is exactly like the oem gold....thanks Eric at Bumperplugs.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
