as for the trunk emblem, it costs about $60 to replace with an aftermarket one, and since there was a "no emblem" option for the Boxster, you will not hurt anyone if you decide to just remove it. I removed mine and found it actually seemed to widen the view, an optical illusion of course but I like the look.

As for removing it, take a length of 12-15# fishing line and walk it under the emblem, it should come up fine. I have been told that dental floss will work too. If you have a heat gun, that will work too, just don't burn the paint. The residual glue is a ******************** to get off, naptha, mineral spirits, reducer, none of them worked. Do not use acetone or lacquer thinner, it will eat the paint. When I removed mine I used a head gun and a hard plastic scraper to get most of it off, then rubbing compound and a good polish to get it all off. Be careful, or you might end up getting a trunk lid repainting.
