The problem I see with adding Ruf badges to a "non Ruf" Porsche are twofold,

1, needing to explain to car fanatics asking about your Ruf, that your boxster is not actually a genuine Ruf Boxster but a standard Boxster with Ruf badges bought from ebay.

2, Explaining to the person that asks you "what is a Ruf" that RUF Automobile GmbH is a German automobile manufacturer, and RUFs are built from unmarked Porsche bodies and chassis. When a chassis arrives, RUF builds their own independent work into the car. Because RUF installs many of their own-made parts, the company is recognized as a manufacturer by the German government and that is why they are badged as Ruf, but that yours is a standard Boxster with Ruf badges bought from ebay.

It could get a bit embarrassing.

Not a hater just not for me
