Whats everyones opinion on a C4S darker car color ( Black, grey) to have the "S" symbol in Red? I've seen a few with it but just wondering.. Part of me thinks it compliments the red strip that goes accross even though its a darker shade on the strip. thanks

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've been considering this as well... I have a dark blue car. I think it looks good on the cars when I've seen it.
Kinda lame IMO
Gimmicky. I liken it to the Jetta guys puttin BORA on their VW commuter car. Or the Honda guys getting the painted red badges except the S would be worse since the factory doesn't make a red S available... ever.
looks nice on white cars
I think it looks good.... but... thats me
It looks good on Lapis Blue cars too, but sometimes when I got going too fast, the cape would deploy too early.
IT's SUPER-TIM!!
I did it to my seal gray C4 S. I did it myself with the S on the car. Masked it out with an Xto and a magnafying glass. I used red nail polish, 1000 grit wet/dry and took my time on a nice Sat. afternoon. Looks nice and would do it again. BTW, six beer job I was thinking about getting another S and having an SS, but I don't think so
Want to be different...how about C4 ***...
Nice red S
Luv it !

I think the red S looks awesome. My car was ordered by the OW debadged. I wanted the badges. I wanted the red S. The only place I found them was at Bumperplugs. But the cost was such that it was too darn expensive for what it is to be justifiable in principle. I know...need to make money, recover tooling costs, blah blah blah... The reasonings don't make it any more palatable. Thus, I have the more boring grey S...but I'm very happy with it and don't feel like I got ripped off each time I look at it.

Marc, I guess it depends upon who you are trying to impress/attract!
seriously -
Ed, how is this? S
Thats awesome ! I totally "get it" now
OK, how about this one. For some reason the S appears to be a little distorted!
where is the "S" in that pic
LOL at the pics here...but here is one..sorry took the pic off autotrader.. I realized the "S" has to be cut to properly fit into the "4"
well, cold, snowy day here in southern NJ, this tread gave me some reason to get off the couch. sorry for the grainy photos did it so i could distinguish my silver 996 from all the others! Surfer161
let me try it again

Did you paint the S or did you buy it that way?
I think a red S is cool if you like it. I think it pops. God forbid Porsche isn't the OEM. That is blasphemy
I have a silver C4S and I put the red S badge on. Porsche people comment all the time. It is very neat.
Is the red S something I can buy and stick on? Any details on vendors etc?

Hey Surfer...is it possible for you to post the side pic of your car so I can see the red S on the wheels? -Manil

Eric at BumperPlugs sells them at $80 I believe...
That does look pretty cool. I'd be inclined to sand and paint it myself, if I could pry it off without damage. +1 on the request for a full side view of the car showing the center caps.
Opps i will rephoto the wheels tomorrow in the sun. i had the dealer do the deck lid for $40. he took the badge off the deck lid and sprayed it off the car more later surfer161
Isn't the big red S for traffic cops to see walking up to the car? I think it stands for Stick it to 'em.

Bought this from Eric at bumperplugs. The color of this shade of red is "taillight red". Here is how it looks on a Basalt black c4S. -Manil
