I would be careful on trying to remove it. I tried on my 99' and it a very small piece of paint from underneath came off as well,so I order a new 'Boxster' emblem and re-installed. On top of the small paint chip,it looked like the paint had faded some and it had a 'Boxster' on it,I actually kinda liked it though. Just something to consider.

How about some pics from those of you who have switched to "986"? I'm on the fence too, and can't visualize it. Pics would be helpful.. Thanks!

IMHO, I don't if its because of the long racing history but,

1-all Porsches should have a hood crest
2-all Porsches should have a rear badge

debadged cars look great when they are BMWs, Mercs, Imports,etc. but Porsche is its own category, kinda like Ferrari.

Go Badgeless for awhile and see

I have been debating the same thing. I like the Boxster S badge on but it gets in the way when I wax the trunk. You have to be careful not to get your cloth caught on the badge and clean any wax/polish residue out of the badge lest it dry there and look like Crap. I think I'll try it off for a while and then get a "986" badge. By the way, who sells the 986 badges?
