Hi,

The Part Number matches up correctly. Your old Badge was glossy because it was waxed and/or buffed over the years. They're only sold in Matte and Metallic finish.

If you like the glossy, go over your new one (carefully) with some wax and a Buffer - it'll gloss up in no time...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

For those of you looking to "re-badge" the Boxster and have excess money needing to be spent ($450.00 +)

I have a Chrome one if anyone is interested (used so you'll have to get some silicone). PM me.

my "B" was broken also when i bought the car. how did u guys break that emblem? i just can't imagine what everyone did to break the piece of plastic stuck to the trunk... anyhow, this was a good excuse to change the emblem to '986' as soon as i got the car. hehe.

Hey djomlas, perhaps it's just the photo angle, but your emblem looks much thicker (higher). It that OEM?
