Silver or Gold Hood Badge?

Does anyone have a silver one that can post pictures?

I'm trying to decide on silver or regular.

Any suggestions?

I have a 2000 Arctic Silver 911 Cab.

Here's what you're looking at:



By the way, is this something a Porsche service dept or collision center would take care of? I know I can do this myself, but I just don't have the time. I'm supposed to take this in a parade, and want the RUF badges off before then.

Is it a true Ruf car or just a Ruf body kit? If its a true Ruf with the enging and suspension upgrade, I'd keep it...but if not its like 2 screws....takes 5 minutes...

Does anyone know whether the Carrera logo is a stick-on or does it actually need screws?

FYI Eric @ bumperplugs has been extremely helpful. I'll be ordering these from him.

I have a silver one on my white car and it makes a huge difference. all the other accents are silver, so the gold stood out terribly. Very easy mod, takes all of about 5-10 minutes. The front badge does have 2 small screws. The rear is stick on! GL

if my car didn't come with the silver badge i wouldn't have bothered and stuck with the original gold since that is the official porsche badge color.

i mean u could even call this a sauerkraut move really if you wanna judge those that do the same with less prestigious brand name cars
