Where does the "Carrera 4S" Logo go?

Has anyone put a logo on a c4S with the aero-kit? Would it go on the reflector, or is debadged the only good looking option? Any ideas would be appreciated! =)

Dude don't put it on the reflector.

just put it where it makes sense. i personally think debadged cars look too kit car.

Yeah, I don't like the debadged look either... Had a cop pull me over to ask what the car was. Then he gave me a ticket. A logo on the back might have saved him the trouble! =)

I diddn't think there was really space above the reflector, but I guess it might work to just put the logo on the back of the tail... seems pretty good in hte NRAuto picture.

yeah- the guy with the debadged car is always the one who bought the budget model and doesn't want anyone to know it- Like a BMW 328 vs. a 335, etc..

that's the factory aerokit wing.

ita, i'd definitely put on the carrera 4s logo on the car. speaking on badges, i think it's the best looking badge of them all. contrasting S.... fills out the wide **** nicely.

Yeah... I miss my 4S badge! Does the Bumper Plugs 4S badge (with the red S) include the 'Carrera' part? I dont' want to pull the badge off my non-aero decklid.

As Ben says, it's the factory aerokit. Only source is Porsche for now. No replica's.

Upon closer examination, I don't think the tail will work. The emblem would mostly face the ground, if mounted in the only area big enough. That little gap between the backwards sloped portion of the tail, and the reflector, is too small... I think.

That's what I'm trying to figure out...

These are the only "factory" pictures I can find:
Whereas the 'turbo' emblem can go right between the lights, with the Aerokit, there doesn't appear to be any emblem on the 4S aero. But, it's a tiny picture with lots of shaddowy contrast. So I can't really tell.

In this other Porsche provided picture, we don't see the back.
