Since he's posted on other threads since you posted this I'd say the answer is that no porsche part number exists. If I was selling stuff as "porsche original" that wasn't I'd stay quiet too. There's likely to be a lot of pissed off customers.

Brian, all you need is a 8mm socket.
Put it on-should look great with your wheels.

^^ Oh, I know it will look great once installed. Right now the crest is the only thing gold on the entire car. Everything else is either black or silver. Kind of looks like it was a special order for Al Davis. Actually the seat belts are red but I'll probably change those out this winter. BTW, this new crest of mine isn't matte. It's full shiny and of a very high quality.

I have one of these (just seemed appropriate ), but haven't installed it yet so I can't speak to the fitment issue. Part number on the back is 993 559 211 00 and I bought it here.

Check out some of the vintage badges on that website from other auto manufacturers, some are really beautiful. http://enamel-auto-badge-repair.com....n_process.html

I'm guessing that it's pretty much understood that there is no "genuine" silver crest. I think what the 'confusion' was about is that there are "real" silver crests (properly refinished from the OEM gold crests) and "fake" silver crests (butcher jobs and/or from fake OEM gold crests.)[/URL]
Porsche has produced the crest in silver, and it will fit 993, 996, 997, 986, 987, Cayman and, with a special backing piece from Porsche, the Cayenne.
We have had access to authentic Porsche hood crests in silver in very limited numbers over the years. There are plenty of knock offs around online if you search, and if you find one for $100 or so, it's either very old, or a fake.
