I just went out and looked at mine. If they are cut or shaved they did a hell of a job. I would say these are not cut up 968 badges. I love mine and are done correctly.

Thanks for confirming, Mike; I was one who asked about the cool badge on your 'Cool Cab.'

Related '993' badge options: from 2009 post on Maz (P1CR)'s "RS Badge for an RS clone" thread...

YMMV, but it may lead to enjoyable & enthusiastic responses from those who've never heard of a '993' & now suddenly realize it's their favorite Porsche when they see your emblem.

AFAIK, the factory never offered it, so the top 3 options appear to be:
- Customize an OEM '968' badge (what I did, but ruined two badges with my previous attempts ). May be a fitting finishing touch for your highly-customized 993, since it takes more effort & personalization than the following
- Order the one made by bumperPlugs.com; it's larger than the '968' badge
- May be able to buy factory 'GT3' badge, then combine its '3' with a couple of '9's from properly-proportioned '911' badges

BumperPlugs.com's offering...

Good work curve lover!!

I knew these werent "custom made parts"

GT3 badge 9965592379070C about $23

968 badge 9445592200370C about $22

So for $45 you have a "993" badge and a "GT8"...

Oh, and $70 left to buy me & CL a few beers!!

Good work! Are the GT3 and 968 badges the same size? I know Porsche made at least 3 different sizes for the rear emblem...

Spot on, as always, Ilko: the GT3 emblem's larger than the 968's. Hence a mention of proportions in my 2009 post...

In all the years RLers have discussed a 993 badge, this is the first mention for your solution, AFAIK. If it's that simple (& it certainly looks like it should be), wish it had been brought up ~1.5 years ago when I was ruining 968 badges

Appears a brilliant, straightforward, & factory-made solution. Thoughts?

Impressive post, wrong on all accounts though..

The turbo 3.6 badge is only available in chrome, not black

The "911" badge 9935592370170C is black

The "911 30 years" is titanium, 964559221014PU

There is no part number 96555922101

So maybe we need 2 x "911" badges and 1 "GT3" badge

Still under $60 for all 3

I will investigate further and report back...........

+993 on making an end run on a supplier/sponsor. I started the thread so people could source the badge not find a way to beat a supplier/sponsor out of a sale.

Im not trying to "beat a sponsor", just trying to help fellow owners with the correct information

Remember the silver hood badge? I just tried to get the correct information across then too
