Silver or flat black rear logo? Attn: Eric at Bumperplugs

My car is Arctic Silver. I am replacing the rear engine hatch Carrera logo to a 911 logo. Anyone have a pic of a silver car with flat black logo? Or should I stick with a color-matched one?

Eric (Bumperplugs), do you have any additional pics of the matte black on silver like the one on your website (which I pasted here)? A pic of it a little farther away would be perfect. I'd be happy to buy it from you but I just need to decide on color.

Thanks!

Need a new digi before pics. My "911" is polished stainless or chrome and I think it is different enough to look good. It enhances the Artic Silver and doesn't draw attention like I think the black emblem would. IMHO

Thanks everyone for your input. I am gonna buy both and see which I like better. The unfinished (matte black) is only $18.

Doctor K and BD997: Do you have any alignment issues from lowering the car with the Eibachs/Cargraphics e.g. excessive tire wear? Just a standard 4 wheel alignment did the trick?

No alignment issues here... but it does get really rough when I turn PASM on... but handles like a charm!!

The emblem is from a 2004 Carrera. I bought mine at my local Porsche store. Measure carefully!

No abnormal tire wear so far with the Eibachs..they will settle a bit, mine did (about 1/2 inch) The ride is very nice, a little stiffer than stock.. I love it.
