I think it looks better clean – am thinking of doing the same to mine. No worries about the bragging rights either. If someone knows the difference between the S and the base model, they will recognize the other cues. Not that it matters anyway…

I personally prefer the bare butt look. Here's a pic of my car (on the right) debadged, and another 986 on the left with the Boxster emblem on the trunklid. I think the badge breaks up the smooth lines of the car, and makes it look busy. The matching painted bumperettes helps to clean up the look too, IMO.

Good point..it could just be the angle but the non badged one seems wider.

I de-badged my 02 S and am in the process of painting the bumperettes sometime....
I love the clean look as well.

Nice. I have always been a big fan of the Porsche Oxster - you don't see too many of those.

De-Badged "Rockster"
About 2 months ago, I was drying my car and it magically transformed from a "Boxster" into a "Roxster." Tonight, after a Monster, I decided to grab some floss, headed to the garage and de-badged the Roxster. I'm now a fan of the clean, under-stated look.

I am needing to find the time to go through this process too as I accidentally turned my car into a "Poxster" a few weeks ago whenI broke off part of the badge during a wax job.

Although I think Mercs and BMW look good sans badging,
Ferraris and Porsches look funny to me without their front and rear badges.
