You can buy that at the autoparts store, but the difficult part is reapplying it to the badge and cutting it to size. I think that's why dealers just sell the new replacements for around $30 bucks.

Putting the PORSCHE badge on was pretty simple even though they were all individual letters:
1) Put a long strip of painters tape along the length of the trunklid where you want the letters to sit right above.
2) Measure where the dead center is to apply the middle letter (S)
3) Apply half inch strips of tape (the spacing I wanted between each letter) to the left and right of the S, and then affix the next letter to the right and left until finished.
+1 on the emblem
-1 on your current weather
