btw, bottom of my B was broken when i got the car...seems to be the case on any broken boxster emblem

I want to replace mine with a 986 badge, but I'm sure the Boxster badge will have an outline on my car. Is there any way to get rid of the outline (the paint fade, not the glue)?

Some wax or paint restore product might help but I doubt anything short of a respray will clear it up completely.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
