Personally, I removed my Boxster S badge off the back of my car, raised the spoiler and installed on the rear facing surface. That way as I'm passing by at 75+mph, everyone can see what just blew passed them.

It's your car. Do what you want. After all, variety is the spice of life.

Having said that, like you I'm not a fan of adding badging that's "false advertising".

You could just get a decal to put on the spoiler. We have a nice matalic silver "Boxster" in a stylized cursive script on our '98. It was on there when we bought the car. I would like to find this decal with "Boxster S" to put on our 2K S we just bought.

I removed mine and have everything blacked on the rear. I think it made it a lot cleaner and also some people don't know what it is, which I like. The red calipers say Porsche, so does the wheels and I have the hood crest. Thats enough for me.... actually almost too much

I like this idea. Did you install the original badge on the spoiler? I was wondering if the thickness of the badge clears everything.

Yes, I did install the original badge. I broke mine while waxing the car so it came off and I loved the way the ass end looked all cleaned up. It reminds me of a woman, on her knees, bent over ...no disrespect ladies but damn!, those fenders sticking out there....Mmmm :dance:

I had to go purchase a new plastic Boxster S badge and the double stick tape works perfectly. Clearance is no problem.

Do you have a pic of the badge on your spoiler?

You were talking about a woman bent over with boxster shorts on right?

One thing is certain, we all know how the company feels about using the panel as a billboard, I'm surprised they didn't fit
