anyone running a "silver" hood badge on their carrera

[bento]

my front emblem recently came off (don't ask) and i was looking at the pelican site and saw that they are offering a silver badge which is significantly more expensive, but looks pretty cool. does anyone have one of these on their carrera? does it look nice in an oem sort of way or does it clearly look aftermarket? any pictures are appreciated.

thanks,

Cool. Haven't seen that before. It would look good on my silver 930. Now you got me thinking.....

anyone?

I am curious as well. I have a triple black SC Cab with the poilshed Fuch's and I am thinking the silver emblem would match better. Want to make sure before I pay a premium for it!

The silver badge looks cool.

Anyone know how much?

It's $80. if no one has a picture, i'm going to have to go ahead and be the guineau pig for the group. i'm thinking about pulling the trigger, but i would still love to see one on a Carrera.

I came across Silver Emblem on Silver. It looked great on this guys car. The photo doesn't do it justice, though; but here ya go;

BTW, is the p-car in the picture riding a bit too low?

Whoa, someone explain that front signal light arrangement to me. One, not two, and clear lenses....I like! Anyone know what, and where to get this?

i agree, clear looks hype. any thoughts on where to find these?

Don't know where to get clear lamps in the US, but FVD in Germany has clear lamps: http://www.fvd.de/katalog/katalog/lichter_en.html

I have to say that it actually looks pretty good, but at 75 Euro for front and side lenses it's a bit on the expensive side

They're cutting it close, all right - they must have the suspension set pretty stiff at that height. Gives it a very aggressive stance, though...

if you take a gold badge to a chrome shop, they just replate it w/chrome. doesn't hurt the cloisonne. i redo all my old car emblems that way.
there's also black chrome.

Saw a shiny new silver badge on a black 968. Looks great since the badging matches the silver rims. Also, the "Porsche" lettering is in black whereas on the gold version it is not.

I kind of like the black lettering, it stands out more-so then the classic gold version.

$80 !

Where do I go to get myself one of these?

I do believe Performance Products carries these clear front signal lenses.

When we're on the subject of lenses. I got these side markers for my 930. They look a lot better than the squared ugly originals.
You can get them from www.aceparts.com and they deliver within a few days. Orange bulbs included.
