On silver I'd go fresh.

Depends on the rest of the car. Is there patina elsewhere? If so, keep the faded ones. If you restored the interior, rubber, trim, etc. then there isn't much point left to keep the faded ones. I like patina but it's an overall look for the car, not just a single item.
Fresh for sure...
On other colors then silver I prefer faded with a faded 2.4.
But black on silver with 73 black trim lenses looks better.
i have more of an opinion about the license plate.
looks like a beautiful car.
i think i would choose the fresh black.
Current long term ownership: 63 Cab, 71 911, 74 914
Faded for sure...

I'd only do the faded emblems if the grill had the same gentle faded patina. Given the grill you show on the car, definitely Fresh.
