is debadging = blasphemy?

[d18mike]

When I lived in Europe a few year ago, I read a non-Porsche specific article about the increasing number of requests for the debadging option in Europe.

In many cases it's not that people are trying to hide the fact that the car is a Porsche or BWM -- senseless as it is very obvious. What many are trying to do is manage/minimize the fact that they do not have the "deluxe" model of a certain car (i.e. Boxster v. Boxster S, Carrera v Carrera 4) etc...

I have a zeintop on my car and bought a 968-CS badge online and changed it to 986-S looks pretty cool-nobody knows what it is.

Feel free to debage however you like.

Personally, I have never really liked the "Boxster" name (its kind of a silly name for such a well performing car), so I simply put an aftermarket "986" badge on the rear trunk.

A picture of the rear spoiler with the Boxster S badge on it. The other pictures are of my first love. I've had 7 since I was 16 years old. This one is a '66 with a 1776cc, balanced, full flowed with a 12 lbs fly wheel and a 44 IDF Weber.

Thanks for the pics! I didn't know if it would fit but the badge looks good.
Nice engine bay on the bug. Faster than your Box?
Too bad we can't pop the hood on the Box to show a dressed up engine.

Thanks Baxster,

I wish the logo followed the curved contour better than straight across, but
I'll live with it.
