Default new 991 Emblem



Has anyone tried to put the 991 Porsche Emblem on their 996? How does it look? Is it hard to do?

I would be more worried about how to take it off the 991.

I don't like it on the 991. I know I wouldn't like it on my 996.

I guess I am the minority here but I happen to like it. I guess that is why they say "to each his own".

It might look on the new model, but not in the 996

I dont even think it looks good on the 991, too much writing! Other than that I think the 991 looks damn good!

But than again, My car is debadged.

That emblem might be cool for the tool chest or garage wall though. Hmm...

I guess I understand the big lettering/branding on a Cayenne or Panamera... but on a Carrera? Seems overdone.

Looks like a billboard on the back of the car.

However, I do agree it would look awesome on my toolbox!
