Sorry to say I know nothing about the chrome process, what materials can and can't be chromed...that said. Can the 914 and 2.0 metallic emblems found on the rear of the 914 be chromed?

yes they can, but it would be cheaper to buy new ones I think.

Rich

as long as it conducts electricity, you should be fine.

C'mon Rich...you know they NEVER made a chrome (I mean silvery) emblem...

plastic can be chromed, so can white metal (what they are made from) honestly I never paid attention....it never was chromed???

I swear I saw them in a catalog...maybe automotion or AA...all chromed.

Rich

didnt they only come in black and gold? (gold being the older ones, and black the 73+ ones?)

That's what they say over in Pat's CW forum...

Question is, should I spring for a new gold (metal) emblem or a used one to have it chromed? The one I've got the pins on the back are a little worn, prolly shouldn't matter though?

Metal emblems can be chromed, plastic ones can be vacuum metalized. Don't send plastic to a chrome shop.

yea, was just trying to remember why chrome wouldnt have been in the catelog.

I would go new (gold). It will probably look cleaner than making chrome looking ones.

Use stickers....otherwise there's always some douche nozzle with a screw driver that will want it....

One other thought would be anodize just like the rest of the trim,
my P O R S C H E lettering on the engine deck lid and this...

My silvery hood emblem. Maybe the chrome might be a little too much bling, the clear anodize is little more subdued.

Me likes 'em shaved. No emblems at all.

But on topic, I'm not a fan of chrome. As to gold vs. black, I would say it depends on the color of the car. My personal opinion, gold looks better on dark colors, black on light colors. But it's a taste thing.
