Nice. I have always been a big fan of the Porsche Oxster - you don't see too many of those.

hahaah, yeah, i still have that badge too.
actually the whole B is there, but the bottom part of the B that extends was missing, and it must have stayed like that for a long time since the sun baked the rest of the car and not under the badge.
and as for buffing it, its not that outline is there from glue or soemthing, but actually colors are different. it CLEARLY says boxster with darker shade of green. i will snap a pic and show, it looks liek it broke off when the guy got it, and stayed like that untill i got the car. so when i took it off its like a ghost shade badge....

I debadged mine a couple of months ago only because pieces of the "B" were broken off and I didn't feel like replacing the Boxster emblem. It's easier to polish the trunk now without having to work around the badge. But lately I have been thinking about putting it back. The back looks bare somehow without it. A little too bland.

Hmmmm
I like the bald look - matches me!
Once you've flossed the badge off, did you need to use anything to get the rest of the sticky bit off?

Its possible that with your car being as old as it is, that it could have some paint fading which obviously did not affect the paint under the old badge.
Your paint certainly looks clean and polished, so you may be stuck with it.
