I just got my car from the body shop. I have a build thread in rennlist. I was wondering whether or not to put the turbo badge.



It's a clean look with the wiper and bumperette delete but every time I'm staring at the rear, it's like I'm looking for something.

I have the grey turbo s (i wouldn't use the s) badge from suncoast and the original chrome one.

 

I think it needs a badge, I did the same as you and couldn't decide, ended up spraying my badge black, also thought about 911, Prius, and a few others, turbo badge looks just right imo

 

I took mine off

I left it that way for about a year, and then put it back on again


Also - straighten your tailpipes if you haven't done so already

 

I noticed those tailpipes for a while. Is it easy to straighten those? I was going to change the exhaust and tips anyway but that won't be till next year.

 

if u feel like being humble leave it off the word turbo is intimidating especially the one with an S,lol

 

I believe the Turbo badge is a nice touch.

 

Badge of honor, like the classic gold Porsche emblem on the hood.

I should one up the 991 badge and do "PORSCHE and on the bottom - Turbo S 3.6 "

 

I was thinking the same thing!

 

Before I wrapped my car, I did a gun metal turbo sticker. A little more subtle.

 

mine is off right now as i took it off for a detail i did few weeks back. glued it to my tool box. they do have a black one but im not sure of the dimensions or application (stick on or tabs). im sure you could get it on there some how. i like the black one ithink for my slate gray black rimms and blacked out tail lights. but i think the emblem is a must for me at some point. check the black one below or search for it.

Wear it proudly!

 

Why not? The badge is suble and tasteful (unlike the 991 badging). When I see an unbadged car I immediately think "it’s been in an accident"

 

agreed with most, emblem 'turbo' needed. looks plain without. sick car.

 

I've debadged my BMWs but I don't find the turbo script to be annoying. And, while
I may be in the minority, I think the black bumperettes are functional and I take issue with those who would replace them with the painted version.

One thing I think we call all agree on is that the essay written on the back of the new
911 is tasteless.
