One thing I think we call all agree on is that the essay written on the back of the new
911 is tasteless.
why exactly ? if the unpainted ones get scuffed you cant buff it out like you can with a painted one, the painted ones look better, they are also easier to keep clean, the black ones need black wow or something applied to them fairly often to keep the nice black look, painted ones just get washed like the rest of the car. i really cant see any benefit at all of having unpainted ones, other than saving a couple of hundred bucks

I think an overwhelming majority has convinced me to put the badge back one. I'll go with the grey "turbo s" badge I got from suncoast. It's a little smaller than the chrome one but since it's grey, i think it will complement the arctic silver.

Thanks guys!

Turbo badge

Having a Turbo without a Turbo badge I guess is a little like having eggs without salt.... (wink)....

I think you should put a turbo badge on yours & take that silly GT2 badge off.
