1. Order new logo from dealer parts department, or other source, because it comes with the right new adhesive protected by tape. Also if you damage the old logo taking it off, you are covered.
2. Get some spray paint, or send it to Eric for a specific color...I used a buddy at the dealership who painted my "S" Guards Red to match brakes. It looked great on Lapis Blue.
3. Take dental floss and slide it behind the current logo with a sawing motion.
4. Clean off excess glue with wax. Pull the protective tape off the new, painted logo and stick it in place! It's cake.

Concerning my above post, spray painting the logo yourself would be easy with a can of spray paint from a local hardware. Do that painting far from your car!

the "S" in red would look good...if you already have red accents in the interior it would be a bonus.

I just purchased an 'S' from the Pelican website and will be having it painted red to match my calipers. On the C4S, the 'S' is notched to fit beside the '4' so there is no issue with placing it wrong or not centered.

This comment will get many a Porsche enthusiast all fired up. "Blasphemy" will be the word of choice used by many. Try Pelican Parts. There are many Porsche suppliers, so you shop around for competitive pricing.

I bought all new lettering at the P. dealer when I did the turbo decklid and cf oversized wing mod to my C4S.

Cost about $140,- and had the S painted red at body shop ($40,-) with thriple clear coat (that way the paint won't start coming off at the edges when I have compound detailing done in the future).

The stock lettering is hollow so the double sided tape doesn't stick out too much.
This makes the lettering sit quite a bit more flush than the aftermarket logo's I've seen and no waiting, the P. dealer has them in stock .

Honestly it makes a huge difference, it just pops... a lot!

Good luck!

Sid.
