Debadge Boxster S?
 
What do you guys think debadge or not?

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.

Do it. All it costs is a little of that dental floss you're not using anyway, and a little elbow grease to completely remove the residue. And it's reversible...you can just re-attach the emblems if you miss them.

I left mine off after my trunk lid was repainted. I like the smooth look better.

Kyle2112 01-18-2014 04:44 PM

Yellow, I took mine off about 2 weeks ago. I like it off, the wife likes it on. Now the question for me...if I do replace it, what color. Titanium? Chrome? Hope the wife decides it looks better off.

Haha I agree, looks better off.

I want to debadge but my dad prefers it badged.
Oh well, most likely will debadge soon and if I don't like it I will rebadge.

Kyle2112 01-18-2014 05:05 PM

Funny, Auf and Yellow we need our bumperettes painted. The smooth rear deck and color matched bumpers make for a newer look.

Tomorrow, I am putting the "P O R S C H E" badge from a new Cayman on mine. The original owner apparently took the de-badge option when choosing the Aerokit, but I figure if I'm driving a Porsche, I don't want people asking themselves the name of that cute little Toyota that just went by, because there's no badging on it.

I removed mine years ago. When I purchased my car, the lower part of the "B" was broke. I ordered a new badge, put it on and promptly broke the same spot while washing the car.

Enough. I removed the rest and have left it off ever since.

dghii 01-18-2014 05:48 PM

My tool box has been badged instead of my car

Much better debadged.

Mine just broke where the hook of the B, the bottom left, where it begins to curve up. I was washing the car. All of the badge is coming off soon. The S as well.

Hi Yellow.
Defiantly De-Badge, Did try just the 986 even that was too much

http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/p...86Badge001.jpg

So it's like this now.

The Boxster has the most beautiful curved rear end of any car in the world, and I’m sorry silver-S only someone that doesn’t know they’re cars would think it was something else, and I don’t care about them type of people they are not car lovers, I often find myself looking in the wing mirror not too see what’s behind me but just to look at the curves on the rear wing ;)

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.

I have 986 in gun metal grey and the S in guards red.
Matches well withthe smoked tail lights.

Rebadge a Boxster S
 
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.

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
