Djomlas,
Thanks, I ordered some emblems that say "Supercharged" they didnt arrive yet and Im still not sure if Im going to use them or not. They will probably look out of place but I keep telling myself they wont. We will see.

where is it gonna go?
boxster emblem is outta place too if u ask me

i woulda kept mine off completely, but from the sun u can clearly see where it was, part of my B was missing, so i replaced the black one with aliminum one

I also have a black emblem (but my cars black) and I like it. It adds a little bit of subtleness. If you do anything, dont get black, but id look at red, itd be the same effect, and Id reckon itd be pretty BA

Why ruin such beautiful lines with some plastic stuck on writing? No emblem needed.

Boxtaboy,
Do you have amber bulbs in there? Your right, thats nice with no emblem on back.

Hi OhioBox,

Yeah, I left the stock OEM amber bulbs in the tail lights. I actually tried the silver bulbs that flash amber on the side markers and found that when lit at night, they don't flash as bright as the amber bulbs did, and so put the amber bulbs back. The all clear look is cool in the daylight, but with as many cars as there are here in Manhattan I want to be SEEN on the road clearly at night if you know what I mean. I figure at least I got rid of all my outer amber on the car, which really annoyed me.

Another benefit of taking off the rear emblem imo, is that it makes the car look wider from the rear. Easy to take off emblem btw. Just run some tooth floss under it, and saw it right off. Then rub the residue off with your finger and then wax it. Voila.

Cheers.

i ordered 2 different kind of emblem @ eagle day ( 986 & Boxster ) I'm still deciding on which one to use but after seeing your car, i think i would just return it and keep it butt nekked

ohio..here's my $.02. IMHumbleO, I think either keep the Boxster emblem or leave it clean. If you put a "supercharged" emblem on it, kinda look cheesy...just smoke them in the stop light...action speaks louder than words

and that new tail lights make your car 6 yrs. younger

ohioboxster · 11-15-2006, 05:13 PM

I know it has cheese written all over it but sounded good at the time.

djomlas · 11-15-2006, 05:14 PM

is the supercharged letters in porsche writing or what?

Thanks mon. IMO, a group of numbers or letters are just not necessary on such a beautiful car. The general public will not know what a 986 is anyway. IMO, best look is the nekked look.
