I don't have any pictures handy and my car is filthy at the moment but I have a silver crest on my Artic Silver with clear markers, chromed wheels, and the terracotta interior. I love it!

It's a 3D decal, but you get the idea. It's hibernation time, so the camera angle sucks. The car is half a foot from the garage wall.

Bruce,
How do you figure?
Either that or I'm missing the humour. Don't mind me, we're just back from a holiday at Disney World in Florida and I'm still really knackered from 9 days of walking and standing in lines...

Stupid iPad.
When I previewed, the pic was the proper way up.
Just turn your monitor upside-down.

Maybe if you hadn't put your car away so soon you wouldn't have had to stand on your head to take the picture!

the crest nuts are easy. it is fitting the rubber gasket over the crest that is the fun part.

Hot water should make the gasket go on pretty easy, I will have to stuff some shop towel into my socket when installing the nuts though. They don't give you very much room to work with

BumperPlugs sells a very nice high quality silver hood crest. Not cheap.

why not just move over the gasket and self threading nuts?
Just be careful to not over-tighten them on install...
