Anyone customized / modify Porsche Hood Crest

[PDACPA]

Anyone modify their hood crest? I am thinking of swapping mine for a silver and black (or all black) to match my car. Anyone have experience with buying from this company?

I had a silver crest on a 911 turbo years ago. No experinece with that company but they offering does not look OE. The nicer quality ones I have seen over the years are OE refinished.

Thanks. I will keep searching. I want it to look OEM, but eliminate the additional colors of the crest.

Still looking, but does anyone know if the Taycan Porsche Crest is the same size as the 911? Panamera?

You may be able to buy a new crest and send it to them to refinish so the two prongs fit exactly vs. a random purchase only to find that it is not a direct fit replacement to OEM. Or, bring to a local hobby/body shop and see if they can refinish one for you? Just some thoughts.

Answering my own post. I purchased a hood crest from AASE. Very nice quality and the pins aligned perfectly. I want my hood crest to match my center caps which were the silver and black.

Very easy install. A little plastic cover under the hood pops out with your fingerail. Two 8mm speed nuts and the factory puts a little silicone(?) on them so they actually stuck to the underside of the hood. One did come out in the socket and the other stayed stuck to the underside of the hood. I kept the hood level during the install with my socket holding the one still in there so it would not fall out. I used a interior trim removal tool on the crest as I unscrewed the speed nuts. The gasket is flat and totally under the crest (older models it wraps around the edges of the crest). The speed nuts re-attached to the crest (no threads, but attached with no issue and quite tight). I could not find any new ones at the local box store and rad on another forum that others had re-used them.
