Well it looks really clean! I don't know, I'm one of the few that likes an emblem as long as there aren't two or three on the back for instance.

Take a look at the 986. You could always photoshop one on the same pic to give you an idea of how it would look.

the guys at Bluegrass are awesome! I like the de-badged look... if you ever start feeling like a standard boxster, just hit the gass accelerate and watch how much cooler your car stays via your third radiator...

If you are ever in the Lexington area hit me up we will go for a drive. There are a few other Boxster owners in this area too.

I think it looks better clean – am thinking of doing the same to mine. No worries about the bragging rights either. If someone knows the difference between the S and the base model, they will recognize the other cues. Not that it matters anyway…

i like the debadged look myself. paint your bumperettes body color and it looks really clean.

I personally prefer the bare butt look. Here's a pic of my car (on the right) debadged, and another 986 on the left with the Boxster emblem on the trunklid. I think the badge breaks up the smooth lines of the car, and makes it look busy. The matching painted bumperettes helps to clean up the look too, IMO.

Good point..it could just be the angle but the non badged one seems wider.

I de-badged my 02 S and am in the process of painting the bumperettes sometime....

I love the clean look as well.

About 2 months ago, I was drying my car and it magically transformed from a "Boxster" into a "Roxster." Tonight, after a Monster, I decided to grab some floss, headed to the garage and de-badged the Roxster. I'm now a fan of the clean, under-stated look.

I am needing to find the time to go through this process too as I accidentally turned my car into a "Poxster" a few weeks ago whenI broke off part of the badge during a wax job.

Although I think Mercs and BMW look good sans badging,
Ferraris and Porsches look funny to me without their front and rear badges.

Well i went for it and took off the badge I seem to have a bit of a ghost, this car has always been kept inside so paint fading should not be an issue but i need advice on what to use to buff out the ghost with,i tried turtle wax can i do something else, im clueless on the subject.
