Well, the PO put the stupid "turbo" light panel on my car. I hate it. As if it wasn't poser-enough, the 'O' has a tail on it!! I am guessing this was due to the fear of legal action for copying the exact turbo badge. Since holes were drilled for this, I really have no choice for taking it off; unless of course I had body and paint work done. Here is what it looked like before:



Today I took the panel off, and pulled it apart. I noticed the turbo script was just paint, so I used nail polish remover to scrub it off. (I had to go to the store and buy some, since my gf only uses that non acetone crap.) After that, I gave it a shot of testors model paint, to try to get it to match the tail lights better.



Notice the tail on the letter 'o'




Finished product:




Sorry I have been quite the picture-***** lately, but my gf just bought a new camera!

P.S. Looks better.

Well it does look better without the screaming 'turbo'... I would think you could fill those holes and use touch up paint over them and it would hardly be noticeable.

Much better.
You ought to measure the inside, and do some cool graphic in vinyl and place it on the inside .

Or just do the turbo script correctly, get some vinyl stickers and put them on the inside.
Go with Turbo script or Porsche...as long as you are going to use it.

, nah I have a can of coke just outside of that pic. The gf is the one with the drinking problem.

I don't know what that badge stands for. . . .

Nah, there are 3 pretty good holes there. They were not drilled very "clean." It would take a lot of work. . . .

I was thinking about getting some of those body-colored plugs that are used to delete the headlight washers, and plugging those holes, but then I also have the holes in the bumper that were drilled for the license plate. I will probably get a porsche panel later, bc this one is kind of cheap. I had one back on my 924 that said porsche, and it fit really well. I actually liked the way it looked.

Thanks for all the comments.

Looking better without the script... that shiney badge must go!

It definitely looks better without the script.

(by the way, I'll have a 'Goose and squirt with a splash of Chambord. Yum, yum)

Kenny, check your PM.

I've got a rear panel with "turbo" (proper script - no tail) on it. I am one of the few that likes these things, but I'm not willing to mar my GT bumper with the tag bracket.
