Porsche9 - got the emblem on ebay ...it is actually a Porsche 968 logo ....part #9445592200370C

1) heat up existing logo slightly with a hair dryer
2) use waxed dental floss to slowly cut thru the glue
3) used 3M automotive adhesive remover from Autozone to remove residual glue
4) used dual action polisher to get the paint right/remove any hint of "Boxster"
5) manually raised the spoiler to block up the letters (also spoiler conveniently has a screw dead center)

Hope this helps

Jamesp, thanks !!
Every 2-3 years I
1) clay bar
2) use a dual action polisher with Meguiars's Ultimate Polish Pre-Wax Glaze
3) use the dual action polisher with old fashioned Turtle Wax Carnauba Car Wax
4) park it under a car port, but with a cover when not in use
