Matches well withthe smoked tail lights.

My car has the Aerokit option, which comes with a new trunk lid and (optionally) no badging.

Yesterday, I added a P O R S C H E logo, in the style, of the 2014 Boxster/Cayman. I like it.

It's a decal. Ebay

Porsche Boxster 986 S 3rd Brake Light Decal Overlay 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 | eBay

Was kinda funny - the seller asked for pics of his decals installed on cars so I sent him mine, and he used it on his auction. He might have asked first, but I didn't mind. I was just surprised to find a pic of my car on some guy's ebay auction.

MarkT,
Do they send you all three options: PORSCHE, BOXSTER, BOXSTER S ?

Oh, I already ordered but didn't see a place to make a selection, so I assume they must all come.

Thanks

Slate 01, you may want to contact the seller and let them know which one you want.

From ebay listing:

•Option 1 - Porsche
•Option 2 - Boxster
•Option 3 - Boxster S

Please tell me with your payment if you want Option 2-3 or I will send Option 1. Thanks

De-badge is fine if that's your style...I prefer my badging to none, however.

Hello,
I like the way you painted the "S" on your boxster. Can you tell me how you did that? Primarily how you got the letter off and how you reapplied it. I am assuming you removed it to paint it.
Thanks in advance for your help. It looks great and exactly what I was thinking of doing.

If you are talking about the red "S" sailer22, I think those come from Cayenne S cars?
I bought a red "S" off ebay I think.

Yeah, sorry, Slate - just saw your post. You do have to send him a note if you want option 2 or 3, otherwise you will get "Porsche"

Clean your lens thoroughly before applying the decal and take your time and be careful - you only get one shot at it. I actually ordered two in case I fuct up the first one, so now I have a spare.

Thanks JM,
You mean you are supposed to thoroughly read those ads, lol?

I contacted them and got everything straightened out.

I installed a 981 badge

just did this 2 weeks ago

Been thinking about removing it for a while now. This has probably convinced me. Love the minimalism, not a fan of branding. That said, I'm thinking about the brake light but also concerned people behind me would hate it/think it too ostentatious.

I like the retro look of the bear bottom look. Plus I am an old customize r and always de badged my cars and I wish I had a pic of my '58 Impala custom convertible to share with you but I don't. Here is a pic (again!) of my clean butt. It all depends on what turns you on so go for what pleases you. Also I don't care if someone doesn't know what kind of car I am driving. Since no one pays for my payments, gas or insurance or repairs it matters not to me what they think about my ride

I am adding a pic of a similar car to my '58 only mine was Emerald Green and I had most of the chrome trim removed and cruiser skirts, a cabinet knob grill and candy apple red wheels.

not mine but I have the same set up. Kind of minimal and to the point.
I don't like spelled out names for car models that already have a number designation.

BMW wisely stuck to the script.

I have always been a fan - here is a pict of my old 2001 330ci de-badged...

I love the clean look of a debadged boxster and that sleeper look when you pass by and people have no idea what kind of car just flew by! Makes a really appealing ass

Just hard to decide whether to debadge an S.

Another members debadged Boxster.

This is the bebadge



And this is how folks know what just blew their doors off
