stroke36 is infamous around these parts
I had seen one at the dealer where the customer ordered the decal turbo in black I am doing as much black to my car as I can what's left that I think to change is exhaust tips which I will do when I do the exhaust and turbo decal. Dealer said why have one at all but I do like the look of the painted turbo decal. I did get gloss black hre p43's which match very well any opinions.

I like the look of the 911 Turbo. (pic attached) I would do what YOU like and not be concerned about what others think...that always been my thinking. Everyone will have their own opinion which is fine, but ultimately its your car. Just my 2 pennies.
(On Arctic Silver, a Matte Silver emblem painted by Eric at Bumperplugs looks awesome!)

That's what I have--body color emblem. It's the next best thing to no badge at all.

I think I saw somewhere you can make an emblem in the "turbo" script to read whatever you want. Don't quote me, but I think I saw someone's car that said "thanks daddy".

Me, I'd just take the emblem off. More little areas that dirt/dust like to collect and is hard to wax anyway.

I like the "blackout" look!!
Any thought of blacking out the head lights? (I've seen this)
any more pics of your 997?

Yup I think painted in the body color is the coolest.
