Chris,
The 1972 914s were badged with the "gold" 914 and PORSCHE numbers/letters. Later years were issued with black or silver, depending on the model year.

thanks guys for the info. looks like Im keeping it gold.
its not going to be a showcar but want to keep it as close to original as I can.
unfortunately, the car has a front badge. are they glued on or do they have pins? My car STILL isn't here yet... or else I'd be able to check it out.
I'd bet that 50% or more of the existing 914's have had crests put on the front boot. If it's glued on, the better. If it's "pinned" on (as in holes drilled though the boot) just keep it sealed & watch for corrrosion around the holes.
It's not the end of the world to have a crest installed.
