It's not in the 2005 987 Order Guide., but I seem to remember seeing one at the parts counter.

A couple of other subjective points:

1. You'd be running with three different looking crests...silver front, unpainted wheel, gold steering wheel (granted, not on the outside)

1a. You'd be forever dooming yourself to a cold bleak life of unpainted wheel caps, and even at 185 bucks, the painted caps are a huge improvement

2. I think you'd find the silver crest to get lost, particularly on the silver paint...seal gray might be ok, but I think gray isn't the boxster's best color (sure I'll take heat for that one)...and let's face it, seeing that gold crest on the hood is a large contributor to the personal satisfaction of owning a boxster.
