Porsche Emblem "P O R S C H E"
 

Has anyone replaced the Boxster emblem with a PORSCHE emblem from the rear of a panamera, I thought I saw a picture of one on here, but couldn't find it again, I have ordered the emblem but would like to look at it again before I install it.

Yes. Do a search.

Here's one to get you started:

Oh, and don't do it.:)

40 years ago, it was Dino guys putting "Ferrari" script on their 246s. Now we have Boxster guys lining up to put "Porsche" on their Finnish cars. ;)

Still one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen, and still very much a Ferrari in my eyes.

:cheers:


To each his own, but I don't really see a need to splatter the marque on the car (definitely not telling you not to do it, it's your car to enjoy). If people can't tell what it is on sight alone, they don't deserve to know. ;)

Not a big fan:confused::confused::confused:
986 or badge less is best 4 me
But this is your car

Don't listen to them...check my garage pics; there is a picture of mine in there. Very discreet and sexy. ;)

I like the "PORSCHE" lettering on the trunk. I'd do it but I already have the mask on the middle brake light and I think one "PORSCHE" facing rearward is enough. Either the trunk, or the wind deflector, or the brake light - pick one. More than that and I'm like "OK, I get it already. It's a Porsche. Good for you."

Btw, that's not a scratch on the trunk - it's the reflection of a jet passing overhead.

Here ya go. ;)

:rolleyes: ok ok, I really do have to admit, that does look nice, not as takced-on as I thought it would seem. :cheers:

porsche emblem
 

Installed a PORSCHE emblem instead of the cheap plastic Boxster emblem and love the classic look of it .It is an artic silver 986.I would do it again anytime.First saw the picture on this site and fell in love with the look.If someone does not know it is a Porsche it's about time I show it........Lol

I didn't know it was going to cause a ruckus, I have to agree, the first time I saw it on here, I thought it was kind of like the old school porsche's. I've just sort of thought they could of done a better job on making the Boxster emblem more classic, mine looks plastic no matter how I look at it. This is sort of like the one hump camel and the 2 hump camel argument.

Here are those measurements. ;)

I think that the spacing of the letters on the 2012 Boxster (and the Panamera btw) is a bit wider than what ParticleWave is showing, see picture. My broken Boxster emblem is coming off soon, the P O R S C H E emblem has been lying on my desk for a couple of weeks already.
Not sure whether I like ParticleWave's spacing or the 2012 Boxster spacing better. Argh, decisions, decisions....

I think it depends on your reference.

If you use the stop light width for a reference, the new Boxster spacing looks wider. If you use the outer edges of the trunk lid, ParticleWave's spacing looks the same or wider.

I think it looks pretty good on a light colored car. I'm having trouble imagining it looking good on my Zenith Blue car.

Oh I like that!!

I bought the silver PORSCHE emblem but didn't debadge and put it on because.... well, if I'm at the track and pass someone, I don't want them thinking I had an S, because even the 2.5 is deceptively fast, I've had some ask if it was a S, so I'm trying to maintain Porsche's good reputation ;) That's one of the reasons I haven't gone with LED tail lights or fancy headlights, I want anyone somewhat familiar with vehicles to easily recognize that yes, this is a older Boxster, 2.5 or 2.7 at best.

Even I have a hard time telling mine from newer boxsters but the LED tail lights are a clear give-away

But that looks decent, I'll have to try that. I also think I'll get a silver Boxster emblem, black emblem on black paint is impossible to see.

hooww???? I must do this one!!! Ahhhhh!!!

where did you get the high brake light mask?

Got it from ebay a couple of years ago. I shoulda bought a couple because I haven't seen them around for a while.

Panamera badge

I just finished putting a panamera emblem on my arctic silver box. My letter spacing is just a bit larger than 1" I think I could have gone a bit wider but I was trying to match the 'H' and 'E' with the offset stripe I have.

Caught the "B" with a towel and broke it "again", going to order the black PORSCHE from Suncoast, think it looks awesome....

I always liked the simple "986" rear badge. Just a thought.

I just did that a month ago and while I was able to reapply the piece, you can see the split where it broke.

Now I'm starting to look at either new Boxster S or the Porsche.

Hi jtmarlinceo,
The " p o r s c h e " spacing i did has same measure as 2013 logos..
the spacing are equal to the letters about 4,1 cm..
the 2013 "Boxster & Boxster S" logo is smaller than previus logo.

I debadged by Boxster S a while back. I think I should be able to find a Valmet decal now that Metso is spinning off Valmet as a seperate company.

Either that or 986 RS if I can find I can find the extended wide lettering.

In my eyes, bare is best. However in the personalizing of ones car there is no one size fits all answer. Do what rings your bell and makes you proud of your car.

Panamera..

Porsche Emblem "P O R S C H E"
 

Thanks! I always joke with my friend that the car came with a custom paint job because it has that tint. If I didn't have the clear tail marker I would have probably smoked the taillight.

Here's an older picture if the boxster before I added the stripe

Porsche's arctic silver has to be the nicest car silver out there. The only thing I would've chosen over arctic silver is gunmetal gray... If only

Anyone know where to get the mask to accomplish this "porsche" third brake light look?

After I got my Boxster, I sent a photo of the rear end to a friend. The PO had gotten the "Id delete" feature, so my friend had to ask "what is it?" I've considered doing what Shehadehd did -- very nice looking result, and totally plausible as original equipment.

But do I want to spend $75 advertising Porsche? Do I need to do it to make sure my ego is properly stroked? I don't know the answers -- just that I want to do it.

I also Busted off the trailing "B" with a towel, so I bought an S on Ebay and painted it Red. Much easier now to wax and theres no mistake its an S. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1385593162.jpg

Just did a refresh of my 986 with the 981 layout emblems...

Thanks to all the hints in this forum - I still thought best to have the local dealer do it with an original template. That tool is not as sophisticated as I thought...I like the outcome though...

Lurking UK Boxster owner from Spain here.
I never liked my Boxster S badge as it looked very dull, was not chrome. Several months ago I read how somebody used an ice lolly stick to help align a Panamera P O R S C H E badge. It helps it follow the curvature of the boot lid edge. I made the letters 2 cm apart and 11.5 cm up from the boot lid edge.

Ice lolly stick in action:

Where is a good place to order these emblems? I have checked out a few sites and the ones I saw didn't seem to have much variety in materials used.

I'm looking for PORSCHE and 986 probably in a flat black or black chrome

Any suggestions on where to shop?
