Default 928GTS badge

This isn't stock, right? Mine just says GTS. Also my badge is black and on a black car it's hard to read. I like the silver. Where can I get a badge like this?


This is from the sweet 5-speed '94 on ebay:

Victor - why not just pull yours and paint it???


Otherwise - check with the Big 3 - if it is available - one of them should be able to get it!

That eBay car is GORGEOUS! Reminds me - need to check my Lotto numbers!

Victor, Porsche sells the GTS emblem set as "928 GTS" in "flat black".

Part # is 928 559 221 7OC.

Easy to get them painted. I did, and they have been perfect ever since.



Cheers,
Mike

If insignia delete option wasn't selected 928 GTS in black was what one got from the factory.

Anybody notice that some of the reflective strips between the GTS tail lights say "PORSCHE" and others don't?

They misspelled the company name?

Nicole,
Do some of them not have it or is it just the angle? The Porsche text is essentially on the rear side embossed into the reflector part - the outside surface is quite smooth. So depending on lighting you see it well or not at all - especially when there is a lot of reflected light it just dissapears. I'd be interested if anyone with a GTS can confirm there are in fact rear relector strips without the Porsche Logo.

Certainly looks like there is no text but strip has it.

From looking at the pictures again, it seems indeed an issue of the viewing angle. I now suspect they all have the PORSCHE in it.

I have painted my "928 GTS" emblem gaurds red for the black GTS but have yet to install it. My wife actually suggested it and I know I'm going to like the look based on Gretch's sig line....

All three GTSs I've had over the years say PORSCHE on the reflective strip, its just hard to capture in a picture.

You can do many things with the insignia. I sent mine out to be metalized. It is a vacuum process much like the chrome wheels on plastic models. They look chrome. It matches my car and once I have Chromed wheels (whenever I find some that I like) everything will tie in beautifully.

Victor,
To one of your initial questions just having "GTS" is different - I've seen many cars with "928 GTS" that is the standard - and I've seen logo delete cars but not just GTS. I'm sure you could have asked for it that way - they just glue on - but it is unusual.
