I like the Roadster emblem

But if you want the Boxster S in black why don't you just buy the silver version from Suncoast and a rattle can and paint it yourself prior to installation?

The Roadster emblem is a nice touch, but you can't have your windows up whilst driving

From Wikipedia;

"A roadster, also known as a spyder or spider, is a two-seat car, traditionally without either a roof, side or rear windows"

Also time to get those bumper warts painted!

76turbo...any pics of your car with the script? My car is black with titanium lettering, but I've considered painting the S red. I may just try it with acrylic paint (washable) and see if it works for me. My friend's Cayman S (white) has the red emblem and it is striking, but I'm not sure it works with black.

it was either speedster or roadster. From what i was reading, the car is more roadster than speedster, but not sure.

I did think about spray painting the s to match, but was worried about paint running for some reason.

You would have had to chop the windshield if you put "Speedster" on the car...

Roadster looks good, I'm just giving you a hard time :dance:
