New Trunk Badge

I think yuo're right--the numbers are all the same size, but the fact that the bottom of the six isn't lined up with the bottom of the eight made it look smaller to me.

I think it would look better if the numbers were a bit closer together and the S weren't crowding the numbers. If you had the S placed maybe like it is in the stock "Boxster S" logo, it'd look more symmetrical to me.

BUT seriously--if you're happy you're happy. There's hardly anything that you can do to a car's aesthetics that isn't going to completely polarize people's opinions.

its visual trickery. I took a piece of blue painters tape to line up the numbers.
and then peeled of the tape to stick on the S. The S makes it look like its pushing it up since its on a curve. But I think 1 in 30 people would even pick that up on first glance.
I'll try lining up the the top of the S with the top of the numbers, but I think it leaves too much space, looks a bit too detached.

Do you think it's feasible to notch out the "S" with a dremel tool so it fits around the "6" like your inspiration "Carrera 4 S" logo?

I agree with Eslai, but also like him, I say if you're happy, that's most important.

Interesting. I didn't know there was a red S available.

Watch out for my 01 2.7L to read: 986SC with an "S" and the "C" from a Carerra or Cayman or Cayenne...when I get my SuperCharger!

Looks good, where'd you get it from?

98Boxster, I think its possible with the dremmel but the margin of error is nil. I'm not that handy with the dremmel. I'd have to order a Back up S.

I think I like it, it'll probably grow on me.

Can i assume the rear deck badge is simply stuck on there and there are no holes? I am considering just removing the boxster logo all together...

The "pig tail" broke off my original badge (2002 base), and it was faded, etc...
Ordered a new one from overseas.....

Came in, good quality product, etc.. BUT, it was a bit smaller than the original.... It was $10.00 or so plus about $2.00 ship

I put in in a drawer since about March, but I was bored, and the faded/broken emblem was driving me crazy, so I put it on yesterday.

Opinions? (hopefully not too harsh!)

Its about 1" to 2" less lenghwise, and about 1/2" less height-wise.

All in all, I don't think its that much noticeable...
(at least i didn't put an "S/GT3/Turbo/Carrera" badge on it!!
