Black Badging Ideas
Just very quick question - any examples/pics of rebadged black PORSCHE logos (especially over agate grey)? Have a 4s with the chrome badging and thinking about changing it up. Thanks!

Just check out any GTS pics, they all have black badges stock from the factory.
Google Image search for "911 GTS Agate Grey" and you'll find more.

Cheaper, yes. Ideal? Depends on your skill level. If you botch the job, you wasted time and money on plastidipping, and then you'd have to go get the factory black ones to do it right.
Plastidip is ideal if there's no other option, but it's not trivial to execute and get a factory look. Plenty of people have gotten great results, but it's a process you should take seriously.

The final product looks perfect, just like a GTS. But I'm stymied as to what I'm seeing in the first picture. I don't think it's possible that you could cut out the letters from the kraft paper -- did you cut out rectangular windows and the meticulously tape around the letters? That seems incredibly tedious and unlikely to yield good results.

The process is amazingly easy and totally reversible. I first did one letter as an experiment because, like you, I was frightened what would happen. I then completely removed it to be sure. It's pretty hard to screw up!
The pic here shows the surface immediately after spraying. It looks rough and bumpy. (My first though was oh s**t what did I do!) But as it drys it flows smooth.
I wish I had taken a photo during the peeling off stage, but I was too excited and forgot!

badging for GTS
Gentlemen...
I recently had my car completely enveloped in a clear bra material...and it is flawless.........but.....they took the back badging...Porsche
911 Carrera GTS......off as well as the 2 door decals........GTS
The job is stellar and will protect the car from most everything...no scratching with washing...no road rocks..unless huge...no nothing. Like a plastic guard!! Anyway, my question is........since he won't rebadge it with previous calls.........I am forced to either re attach them but the 2 sided tape is now weak and he wont' do that...or buy new.
At a cost of $431 for all badges and decals.......it is nutty!! Yes, the car is expensive...but that doesn't necessarily equate into throwing money away.
Any ideas.....or where to get the badging a little more reasonable?
THanks

BradB (or anyone else that might be familiar with PlastiDip, i am not),
How well does the PlastiDip adhere itself to the letters themselves? Does it withstand the pressures of hand washing and the like? I suppose it would as wheels are successfully coated using the same product, and probably more agitation when cleaned.
Thanks in advance,
