I debaged the emblems on my rear hatch a few months ago and I ordered a new black "Boxster" emblem and a red "S" on Wednesday, once they arrive I will post the results. I firmly believe the red "S" will flow well seeing that it will contrast with our calipers.

Albeit a Carrera it can serve as a point of reference.

I've got a black '99 with a black emblem. I'm considering removing it entirely as I think it would look better/cleaner that way, and it's a pain in the butt to clean and polish the trunk lid with it there.

emblems

I have been considering a change on my Box. The only color that makes sense to me is gold, since the crest on the hood is gold. I can get the word PORSCHE in gold but it is only 8 1/2 inches long and about 3/4 inch high and that seems a bit small. I like the individual letters, but I don't like the crome and they are not available in gold, I asked the vendor. BH

I think debadging the rear of any Porsche looks better, nothing to break up the smooth lines. Just my opinion though.
