Default Rebadged black Carrera emblem question

Hi, I am looking for some images showing the black Carrera emblem on a dark grey 997.1. I have the aluminium version, but would like too see how the black version would look.
Any help with some examples would be great.

Not on dark grey, but black (dealer pic when I purchased) - I'm probably going to re-paint the emblems red.

Sorry it's not a direct tail-on shot, but here's mine on GT Silver. It was one of the first things I did after picking up the car new-to-me a few months ago. I think a black badge contrasts perfectly with grey/silver paint.

A little hard to see (and it's obviously not on a dark grey car) but my emblem is matte black on black finish. The contrast is nice. Service manager suggested it when I had the emblem replaced and I'm still pleased with how it looks.

It's going to look good. Buy yourself a can of plastidip and if you don't like it, you can just peel it off

just plasti dip it and see for yourself. if you don't like it, peel it off.
to me plasti dip looks the same as paint on the script, so i'm not sure why anybody would pay up for the painted version.

Thanks for the advice. But don’t know how to plasti dip it without taking the 13 years old Carrera logo off completely and putting that old one back again ?

OP post up a tail shot of your car and I'll photoshop the emblem black.
