Thanks. I sent him an e-mail.

Do you know if he is just selling the OEM ones or are these that he is making or having made himself?

Don't start saying that... you know there will be people out there with more money than sense that will want a diamond, 24k gold, bling-bling hood crest.

There are no OEM silver ones. They are all aftermarket ones. What he does is take the OEM's and has someone etch the gold off to reveal the silver.

Unfortunately mine are not standing up real well. A couple of them are showing discoloration on the silver (around the edge border and on the center silver shield).......not sure if anyone else has had this.
I can not be 100% where I got mine but I'm thinking they are all same source?
