I have one to install on my 997, but haven't gotten to it yet - may do it this weekend but getting the gasket stretched under it will take a bit of doing.

Will post photos when I'm done.

Thanks TA. Would appreciate if you could post any intall pics as well, as I like to consider myself handy, but need good step by step instructions to do anything right.

I think the black/silver logo for the hood would look sharp for any silver or black 997.

Yours will confirm it!!!

Had the silver Eric From BumperPlugs SilverCrest installed this morning by my dealer ($75) - it looks SMASHING.... the photos may not do it justice, but it is a whole new look in my opinion. That silver/black running on the hood is so much cleaner than the traditional gold.... THANKS ERIC!!!

I had the silver crest installed on the hood yesterday. Looks great!! I want to thank Raj (aka: crocrr) for giving me his silver crest.

My pics suck, but here are a few shots:
