I am not sure if it will be gold or not I thought it would be but
what is funny is I bought this exact one.
And I received a Tubonite Badge. Could have been an accident but I didn't return it, as it looks good on my car.
There is definitely either a manufacturing issue allowing poor quality out the door, or perhaps a different sort of coating on these Turbonite badges — mine arrived new from Suncoast with several blemishes. There is no discernible protective film which can be removed based upon my close inspection. If “curing” is required then there should be instructions on what to expect/do — but this seems unlikely due to others receiving perfect badges without issues.
No such experience with other Porsche Badges in the past, but this seems to be a recurring issue based upon prior posts…
Out of the box mine looked like yours, maybe even a little worse. I was super pissed too and wanted to take pictures and return it. I left it out of the box on my desk and looked at it next morning and now it looked perfect. I assume the plastic bag it comes in causes those weird marks and once you take it out and let it "breath" for few hours it takes care of itself. Mine looks beautiful and I can't wait to get my car back from the detailer and install the new badge.
Just received new stock of the turbonite badges from Germany - click here to order!
