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.

Another members debadged Boxster.

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.

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.

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.

My tool box has been badged instead of my car
 

Haha... I did exactly the same thing with my old emblem!


Much better debadged.

(that's a reflected contrail, not a scratch, btw)

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

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 ;)
Guvs.

Where'd you get that brake light?

Re-Badgedhttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1390144865.jpg

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.

No need to get all defiant about it! ;)

Looks awesome! definitely going to debadge now.

Thats awesome.

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

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.

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1390366235.jpg

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.

funny! I did the exact same thing on mine!! Yeah, going to keep it...but I really am torn, because I love the de-badge...

I installed a 981 badge

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...

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.
Kevin

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.

This is the bebadge

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

Letters are way too big and don't follow the curve of the spoiler. It looks very home-made and cheapens the look of the car.

^ Have to agree with Mark T.
