I'm tempted to install a silver Porsche hood badge to keep with the monochrome theme on the car.

Did Porsche ever officially have a silver badge or is this one of those aftermarket modifications?

Anyone here actually have one installed? I know, it's a small and possibly silly change, but it seems like a fun mod.

Have you got a photo of it??

I got mine from ebay...it had an Porsche part number on the box and on the back of the badge. I got it based on your reasoning too and keep looking for a silver steering wheel badge.

Where do you find steering wheel badges and how do you change it out? I'm looking for a colored one, cuz mine is scratched and the dealer won't replace it, even though I believe the car came like this when I picked it up new. A parts guy told me that one of the older Porsche's hood badge is the same size as the steering wheel badge. Put recently, when I was at the service department, the service advisor told me I had to replace the whole airbag steering wheel cover.

You guys have experience in changing the badge out and where to pick them up?

Changing out the hood badge is easy.

Maybe the reason we haven't seen a Porsche steering wheel emblem is that its not possible to change without replacing the air bag cover assembly. I think it would be just glued on but its just a guess until we get a new one.

I had the dealer install the silver hood crest at the same time they installed the clear side lights. I think they both look better on a silver CS, but it's purely a matter of personal preference.

Sorry Tess, no decent pictures on the web for the hood badge. Just picture the gold portions of the current badge replaced with silver coloring.

Here is a picture of it that I found:

When I visited Ralph Boothe Designs to purchase the polished exhaust tips, he showed me the silver hood emblems, which I believe he sells for about $100. The OEM hood badges (w/gold inlays) can be bought from Automotion for about $65. By the way, both vendors are CC sponsors.

Well Pete, looks cool enough. In answer to you original question, then YES
, if it matches other bits Why not
