In fact, I had a 99 Boxster and changed the "Boxster" emblem to "986".

I considered changing my badging, but if I did anything I would probably de-badge it.

Thinking of replacing my Black Carrera with Silver and moving my Carrera down below the "hump"
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

I just don't want any RennLister's to recognize me while driving too slow on the freeway, using the wrong gear, burning the wrong oil, having the wrong color side markers, using the wrong stance on my suspension setup and pulling over every 2 miles to make sure my IMS was still intact
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.

Who here has played with their rear emblems? added 911, removed Carrera, moved Carrera or added the 991 P O R S C H E style emblem?
I want to see pictures. Thinking of replacing my Black Carrera with Silver and moving my Carrera down below the "hump"
I like things stock and OEM but was playing around with the thought of doing the newer style
here's a mock up. The size might not be exactly the same, but close I think. Thought? What have you guys done or seen?
I also have been thinking about changing the rear emblem. In fact, I had a 99 Boxster and changed the "Boxster" emblem to "986".
As for my 996, I have been kicking around the idea of swapping the Carrera emblem for a simple, brushed-alum looking "911" emblem.
The purist in me says don't mess with it, but i'm not so sure....
My '02 came w/o rear badging. I prefer it to the stock script "Carrera".
The large "PORSCHE" above the break is more "Look at me!" than I like. But it's your car, and to each their own. Just don't add some of those adhesive vents on the side of the front fenders.
I removed the "Carrera" badge and put on an new "911" badge. I like the look, but I screwed up the paint slightly trying to polish out the ghost image left by the old badge. No one seems to be able to see it but me, but it still bugs me.
Be careful.

I thought about making the S in 4S red, but I've since changed my mind. At least for now. Otherwise, I love the badging on the 4S as is. I did see a brand new 991 today in the parking lot. PORSCHE 911 Turbo S Beautiful car, but I thought it was just too much writing/script on the back end. BTW - the 991 looks huge compared to the 996.
I would think everyone knows what a Porsche looks like. For those that don't, you probably don't know about E.T. or Star Wars either.
Of course some may get it mixed up with a beetle or even the newer 370z's or Audi TT's. LOL
yeah the P O R S C H E is a little much, but its also a bit retro they used to have them back in the day...
the 991 is def bigger, but I scaled the badge in my pic according to the size of the license plate, so they should be about the right size
this is interesting...but would probably prefer it centered.

I did mine last year. (See my avatar) The trailing "A" in Carrera had broken off so I decided to re-badge. I got "911" and "Porsche" from Suncoast that are for the 991. The ones from other models are larger.
Another reason was that a second person asked me "What kind of "Camero" is that"?
I had my car detailed yesterday and when the kid came into the lounge to find me, he said my "Red Carrera was ready." Doubt he knew a Porsche from a Pinto.
I am saying eff all hahaha.
Only kidding. I left the carrera as is position. Put 911 under it. Then Porsche across the bumper. NO ONE and I mean no one liked it one bit and I was severely reprimanded by many posters. Then during a slight snow fall I lost the car and did slight damage to the rear bumper. The Porsche place removed the Porsche lettering during the bumper repoair. So now it says Carrera then 911 underneath it. I think it looks neat so will leave it as is.
Aside from the debadging and Hurdi crashing (glad hes ok); what is this obsession with obscuring your license plates? It gets seen by 100's if not 1000's of people everytime you drive. Is it top secret to forum members but not everyone else who sees your car? Your worried a few forum members are going to run your tag or what??????
I agree - kinda find this amusing - although it seems it could make it relatively easy to get your address info. Read this short article:
http://jalopnik.com/5941797/should-y...ates-in-photos
I think I'll just have to come up with a plate worth leaving unobscured!
back on topic... I like the idea of customizing the rear lettering some. The 4S is sweet!
I erase my license plate when I post pics. I have a child hood friend who is in law enforcement. If I wanted to get an address using someone's license plate, no problem. Knowing that I have this kind of access, makes me wonder how many other folks can do the same. Better safe than sorry...just sayin.
Conspiracy theorists have accused companies like Mit****bishi of taking photos of license plates at the auto-x events and scouring the forums to deny some warranty coverage on Evo's previously. Obviously most of us don't have to worry about warranty coverage issues but another reason not to post plate pics.
I just don't want any RennLister's to recognize me while driving too slow on the freeway, using the wrong gear, burning the wrong oil, having the wrong color side markers, using the wrong stance on my suspension setup and pulling over every 2 miles to make sure my IMS was still intact
That 's exactly why I did it! Actually I only obscured it because I see everyone else doing it and I figured there must be a reason.
To answer the other question there is sort of a small flat spot on the roll where you can put the PORSCHE. Other then that there is too much curve in the shape of the lid to do anything more then the single line emblem the car came with. The fact that the 991 style letters are a bit smaller helps as well. The parts guy I dealt with at the dealer didn't want to sell them to me, said they wouldn't work, but they haven't fallen off yet.
How about this

I considered changing my badging, but if I did anything I would probably de-badge it. Shortly after getting it my wife and daughter followed me to lunch and commented on the fact that it doesn't say Porsche anywhere on the rear of the car. (Before you guys get going, I let them ride in and drive the car, we were just going separate ways after lunch.)
My wife guessed that I would say that those to whom it matters (car enthusiasts) already know what kind of car it is and those who don't know probably wouldn't care anyway. Clearly she knows me well.
Now, you guys who have modified your badging to suit your preferences, good for you. I firmly believe in making a car my own. That's what you have done. It's all just a matter of preference, and if executed well I can appreciate most any modification, even if it is not to my taste.
