Broke the 'B'

Snagged the corner of the Boxster emblem. Was sort of looking for a reason to remove it and clean under it properly. The car is Seal Grey. OEM S emblem is Titanium. So here's the question...

OEM Titanium

987 Gloss Black

986 550 SE Chrome

Color Matched Seal Grey

I can't decide. Anyone color match their emblem? That's what I'm leaning towards.

Well if you change it you have to do something with the "S" too! My car is Seal Gray too, when my B broke I just got another titanium colored Boxster emblem for the rear deck. I think any of them would look nice. Sorry that's not much help!

None. Clean it off and enjoy the easier car washes/waxes and simple look.

Yeah. De-badging is soooo trendy right now. Better get on it before it’s not cool anymore.

Too late.




Stock is a good look.

When I bought my 2000 BoxS in 2008, the tail of the ‘B’ was broke. I bought a new badge and painstaking applied it trying get the location perfect. The new Boxster emblem looked great. A month later, I broke it while washing the car.
My car has been naked since.
