someone swiped my "S"
 
This weekend I traded my 2002 S2000 in for a 2003 Boxster S...white, clean, 9800 miles... It's a lot more comfortable than my s2k (which was a great car). Well anyway... at some point, someone swiped the "S" off the rear. The "Boxster" is off-center. I've been scouring the net and have not found anyone offering up an "S".

Other than a dealer, I was looking for suggestions on how to replace my "S"

Welcome aboard. We'll be needing pics of your ride ASAP.

You could also take off the "Boxster" and run the rear-end naked.


Sorry...this sounds kinda wierd. :)

Just a warning for those of you that may want to remove the Boxster emblem from the rear trunk. When I got home from Autocross Saturday I used the good old California Car Duster before heading out to a party and sure enough the duster caught the B and ripped it off ( it was already cracked ) :mad:

So, I figured this would be a good time to remove the emblem since it is such a PITA to clean the trunk. Sunday night I break out the dental floss and Goo Gone. Dental floss worked great, now time to get rid of the sticky stuff. The glue remnants were so hard to get off !

I soaked a towel in Goo Gone, let it sit on the sticky stuff for an hour, and I still had to use a credit card to scrape off the remnants. Now, of course, I can still see the “Boxster” in the paint :eek:

So, after about 5 coats of Zaino in the last 3 days it looks much better, but I think I will still have to take it to a professional to buff out ( I am a bit of a perfectionist )

So be warned !

Nick
