placement of Boxster badge

So I am looking at this Boxster from a dealer in Florida. The carfax is clean but I just noticed the placement of the rear badge. It looks waaay to high to me. I looked at other 2003's on ebay and found zero placed this high. I wonder if it was fixed and placed by a garage that didn't know where they go?

Yeah it's high, but maybe not a bad thing. I've occasionally wondered why the "correct" badge position is so low as to be obscured by the automatically raised spoiler, which would not be this case here.

I think its just the previous owners personal touch with the placement of the badge.

You might want to have it checked out for accidents since there is a chance that the body shop didn't know what they were doing. But in all honesty this could be done for any number of reasons. The owner might have gotten a badged one and changed his/her mind later on. Or, perhaps, the owner did not like the wing blocking the badge and decided to move it.

Did you ask the dealer? If they don't know, they might be able to put you in touch with the previous owner.

I think a badge that high looks crappy. I suggest moving it down or doing away with it completely, my opinion of course.
