It kinda looks retro. That's not a bad thing.
I thought about going that route with the PORSCHE lettering across the reflector in black. Maybe just the chrome PORSCHE lettering (off a Cayenne) would look good across the back, kind of retro but updated?

Anyone want to guess what Hurdi's opinion will be?
My opinion, well that's obvious.... Fantabidozy.. That's means '****ing terrific' in laymans terms but nobody liked mine, not that I really give a **** haha. I love it. It's yours. Keep it. Don't go the same way as all the other modders. Sheep following each other. Be a rebel and then you become BAD ***. I would prefer to see it in BLACK to match up with the bumperettes. . lol

I vote no badge, *** looks wider. With a badge, I would go black.

Well, after a few months, I finally made a decision and went for the retro look instead of the chrome badging. What do you guys think?

I'm still a fan of no badging on your beautiful C4S. That being said, I like the new PORSCHE lettering better than the previous badge that you had. Again - if you like it, that's all that really matters. It's your car - make it look the way you want! It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks!

I think you made the right choice. Looking at your first pics the badges seemed a bit cluttered and out of place. The reflector lettering looks good with that rear wing.
