Anyone out there who has this? Just want to see how it looks. Cheers

Hi ermed911, Here is a quicky file I made up the crest is not to scale and the perspective is wrong too,,, but it may give you a rough idea as to how it would look, J T http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...-rearcrest.jpg |

You got it all wrong... It should look like this.
|
I've thought about doing it but worried it will look half-ass. Post some photos if you
come across a legit-looking one and not these hilarious spoofs :rolleyes: |
Its on a Cayenne S, but I'll keep looking.

Thought I'd post one I saw in my 101 Boxster Projects book, you can see it in the bottom right image. Personally, I think it's a nice touch compared to the flat black lettering the car comes with, but I don't like it as a decal as that one seems to be in the photo. It should be a raised emblem much like what is on the front trunk lid, but I don't know how feasible this would be with the rear trunk lid as there isn't a built-in space for it like there is up front. |
Looks like it's heading the wrong direction...

here are some.

so how much "porsche" or "boxster" is too much?
the count on my car is 15 front hood crest steering wheel key chain key fob floor mats (x2) above the radio when the radio turns on e-brake handle rear license plate holder tires (x4) rear deck lid ... i could have ended up with the crest on the seat head rests (x2), door sills (x2), windstop bringing the total to 20, add in the running board decal and you could load it up to 22... |
I never back in to parking spaces because most people won't recognize the type of car by looking at the back end (security by obscurity?). Whenever the front of my car is facing foot traffic, I always get nervous.
I'd feel nervous advertising on both ends! how the hell would i park??! |
Lobo, that looks good ! Only thing I would do differently is put the crest up a
little higher and keep (in my case) "Boxster S" below it. I am torn with leaving it untouched and stock or adding this. You could get one and just place it there and see how it looks. You don't like it, you just pick it up and throw it in a drawer, or away..... If you look at a 550 Spyder. It has the crest and "Porsche" underneath it. Front and back. It looks amazing. |
Imho
Since the question seems to seek opinions, I'd say I don't like the gold crest on the rear. Maybe "Boxster" or "986", but not a gold crest.
|
In my opinion putting 986 on the back or completely de-badgeing looks good. I always liked that the car didn't scream "Porsche" to everyone; I like the car for its dynamics and aesthetics, not because of the Porsche badge.
Of course if you want to make your car stand out among the other Boxsters that would be a nice little touch. Btw have you painted your bumperettes? That might be a more worthy place to spend your money (unless you can get a badge cheap). Painted bumperettes really shave off a couple of years on how the car looks. |
Sorry, that looks terrible. :barf:
To each their own. That's what so great about these cars. |

lol, well when my spoiler pops up it says "boxster" so does that count? dont worry flavor I agree not everyone will like the same things. Personally, i'm not completely sold on it myself and it is my car! However, it was done to hide a scar on the trunk and it does it well. IMHO I prefer the most I think just a de-badged trunk... but who knows if I was to change it every time my opinion on the matter changed I would have to have 3 trunks so I could switch it out. |
It looks fine. I've also wondered "remove the Boxster, don't remove the Boxster - then add 986 or that emblem...." It's never ending. My wife likes the Boxster so that's how it stays.
|
i went with the 986 emblem, (in the pic it looks like its crooked and not centered, its just the angle I took the pic lol)

People really wouldn't be able to tell if you were coming or going with an emblem on both sides. I like nothing on the rear deck. Just plain. :cheers:
|
IMHO, it looks a little garish.
A Porsche, any porsche, is one of the most distinctive cars on the road - especially in today's world of convoluted CAD teardrop shaping. There's no mistaking what it is already, no need to 'badge' it up. This is the stuff for those guys who wear Porsche hats, porsche shirts, porsche belt buckles, using porsche money clips, lighters and flash drives - an appendage extender! 'Course... if you like it... Cheers! |
