Default Rear emblem

Hi, for those of you with 718 Spyders and only have the "Spyder" emblem in the back could you please post a pic? Mine came without any emblems and I think it would look good with just the Spyder emblem on it, but wanted to make sure I center it correctly. Thanks in advance!

I ordered mine with the emblem delete option since I did not want 718 Spyder so I went with the larger Spyder emblem from the last version:

I also preferred the 987 Spyder version over the 718 Spyder, so I ordered my car sans emblems and added this soon after delivery....

I believe that the proper one to order is the Spyder emblem from the 987 Spyder. Not the 981. I think the 981 is smaller. And it was cheap from Suncoast. Not $170.

Suncoast number

55923903

PM me with how much you want, and what size (length) it is.

Suncoast number

55923903

I found the correct Porsche part# on the invoice from when I ordered it for my car: 987-559-239-03

And that is why I never buy from Suncoast...they never provide the real part3!

To be fair, they often do just lop off the model identifying digits from the front so you can figure it out pretty easily.

So for anybody referring back to this thread later on, the emblem you want is from a 987 and not a 981.

That may be true but why not post part#s from the get-go? I know why - it is because they charge more 99% of the time.

It looks like you used the 718 Spyder emblem, after removing 718 and centering it?

It appears Post #12 has the smaller one and Posts #2 & 3 have the larger...I prefer the larger!
