Grill badges

Does anybody else install their grill badges like I do? Or where have you put yours?

Creative, but personally I don't care for the look. But then again I like less, not more. If that's what you were asking?

I like the little removable window decals best- to show affiliation.

How did you install the badges? The one I purchased from PCA only has a flat back.

I have mine in the same order, just on the left side.

For the grille badges, not really my thing so much for the Boxster. Doesn't look bad to me though. I do have a mileage badge (250,000km) on the grille of my Mercedes, however.

If I ever get a high mileage badge for the Boxster- I'll mount it proudly!

My PCA was curved and my vir ones is flat on the back both I just put bolts through the back and a washer and nylock ( I also used a zip tie to hold the insert to the roll bar)

986 grille badge - top not closing

Other than the obvious attachment of grille badges on the 986... how do you manage to open/close the convertible top. Mine top gets stuck on the badges. There is no room in between the headrest grille and the closed top to keep the badges on. Anyone else encounter this?
