Subject says it all ... anyone have any leads on this piece or am I stuck with my dealer who wants $500+ ? Already changed the hood crest and need to get this done - I can't stand gold.

 

Might want to start E-mailing or calling the board sponsers.

For example Gert (Carnewal) has the airbag with the silver crest for 410 Euro's which comes out to $509.92 US. Link to Carnewal

 

Or mister GT3 himself (CarreraScott) has one in the For Sale/Wanted section. Silver Crest Airbag

 

Try giving Ralph Boothe a call. His work is custom to start with. He also is a board sponsor.

 

Thanks for the shameless plug. Unfortunately mine is space gray and theres not a big market for that color. But I think its discontinued, so its "rare." ;-)

 

Call Justin at Brandywine Porsche - 610-886-1000 - also a board sponsor. I paid in the low $400s.

 

2000 Boxster S came with a silver crest. Funny because when the car came out the owners I know wanted to know how to get a colored crest. See if you can find a 2000 Boxster S owner who wants to swap.

 

comedy!!! back up my belief that "the grass is always greener on the other side"!! lol!!

 

Funny how that works. But I hate gold so much that even my wedding band is platinum LOL!

 

I too abhor gold. I may pick up a silver hood crest. My wife and I both have platinum wedding rings (and her engagement ring is platinum). Neither of us are big on gold.

My steering wheel (3 spoke carbon/leather) has a silver crest. Is it due to the Boxster Red interior? Otherwise the original owner must have swapped out the gold one.

 

My 2000 996 came with the silver crested airbag, I swapped out the hood crest to silver. (Also have platinum wedding band...)

'04 GT3 comes with gold both on the steering wheel on the hood -- they are some of the first things I'm swapping out!

So I will soon have a gold hood crest and black 3-spoke steering wheel with airbag with colored crest available in a couple of weeks...!
