What I learned was that the opposite was more often the case... owners, particularly those in management positions, removed the badges so that their neighbors and employees would not know that they had actually bought the really expensive V12 model.

In this specific case I think the owner of the not-S is just an idiot.
I'm looking for a 'V12' badge for the back of my Boxster.

Sincerely,

From the Fort Deven's Auto Cross. I took this picture because I couldn't believe it existed.

My first car was a 1965 Pontiac Tempest. I put a Mack Truck hood ornament on it. I guess that was wrong.
