I've thought about the Silver Crest, but then it would conflict with the gold crests on the wheels. I know...I know...who's going to notice, right? Well, I would.

PCars.com

I have the silver crest as well from ebay and it looks great and has held up well in the TX sun for the past 3 years. Silver is the only way to go!

what's funny is that if the cars all came with the silver crests, many would be updating the crest to gold ones

I have seen pictures of all black ones, is there a company that makes them, or are they just hand painted?
