I saw some good options on Suncoast Porsche (Thanks to Deserion), and noticed the emblems come with sticky back - so that's good. Will definitely deploy plenty patience & goo-be-gone for this job; last thing I want to do is scratch the paint. The only thing I'm wondering - does it leave a mark at all once you've removed the original logo - or can it come off completely clean, leaving no residue/marking whatsoever? The reason I ask is, I do like the newer Porche/Boxster logo combination that comes on newer 2013+ models and it's easily available at Suncoast Porche. I'm toying with the idea of replacing the older Boxster logo with the newer Porche/Boxster emblems ... but obviously the sizing & placement is different, which means that if there's any marking of the old emblem left on the trunk, it will very likely be visible.

I would only be able to do that if I'm left with a white/markless trunk after removing the old Logo.

Thanks guys.

When I removed mine for the same reason, you could not tell where the old one was. My car is dark blue so I would say white will show no trace of the removed logo.
