Rear Badging change pics.
Alright so I wanted to "stealth" my Cayenne up a bit as the silver lettering on the back was fairly loud to me.
So I went and bought a new set of decals(from Porsche) and then took them to a local body shop and had them painted matte black and then returned a few days later to have them installed, that took about 25 minutes.
Total cost was less than $150. $50 for badges, $100 for paint/prep/install.
Not bad compared to the fact the Porsche charges almost $600 for this from the factory.
So what do you think?

I got the badges from a local Porsche dealer. I initially looked online(Ebay and Google) and found some badges, mostly from European sites, then just because I was in the area went to a Porsche dealership and asked at the parts counter. They had both in stock, the prices were actually cheaper and I didn't have to deal with shipping, and it's O.E.
