is debadging = blasphemy?
I have a black S. The Boxster badge is silver and the S is red. I like the look but because to car is black, I spray wax a lot to touch-up and the badge is a PITA.
I think debadging would also look good, but would the P-Gods be displeased? This is my first porsche and I don't know the culture yet. When I owned BMW's and saw someone put a M badge on a non M bimmer, I would think, "what a putz". Mind you, I think that would be worse than debadging. |

Everyone knows it's a Porsche and a Boxster...it is your personal preference whether you want badges or not. The only taboo would be removing the crest on the front; as every Porsche, street or race, has worn the crest.
I actually find it annoying when people go overboard with every surface emblazed with "Porsche", "Boxster" or crests on everything. I like my badges! |
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". :cheers: |
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.

There are no "Porsche Gods!" Do what you want.
:D |

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'm always surprised at how many people ask me "what is that?". Many don't have a clue. I always tell them it's a new Ford. Mine is debadged. |

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. Quote:

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

If debadging is blasphemy then that guy peddling stick-on exhaust ports for Boxsters committed the unforgivable sin.

Hey don't laugh, I heard the same guy is developing stick on RMS leaks, to put on the garage floors of your paranoid friends, kind of the exploding golf ball for boxsters. |

litteng,
Bummer having a box in saskabush. You get to drive, what... 2 months a year? When it's not snowing or raining (water or bugs)... wait, make that 2 WEEKS a year!! :D Just kidding! Anyways, you definately want to drive with badges among the sea of Pontiac Sunbirds, Chevy Aveos etc. Same goes for chris97boxster (to some degree) in Edmonchuck. |
