Are the PORSCHE and 911 logos factory or just an over-enthusiastic owner? Are they easy to remove do you think?

Yes, and IMO need to go. Should be easy to remove with a little bit of heat and dental floss.

Ok, thanks...I thought they were stupid but wasn't 100% sure about their origin. It's a car ('08 Turbo) I am looking at so I would definitely get rid of them.

I don't like that it's 3 different styles of fonts. Script Turbo, block PORSCHE, and italic 911. Very busy. The only bathe that should be there is the turbo one. They'll come right off by sawing dental floss back and forth underneath them.

Agree with the others, they need to go and easy to do. The simple turbo script has an understated panache that says more than enough.

One of the things that I have appreciated about German cars is the "form follows function" approach to design and styling. Over time however, the marketers within the various companies have won out. Ridiculous over-sized emblems and exaggerated grills are just awful. What were once true performance packages have become "styling packages". BMW M Sport being a great bad example of this. BMW marketers are well on the way of bankrupting the value that was once contained within that brand.

Back to the point at hand - I think the ridiculous owner-added supplemental badging (such as those on this Turbo) are just an extension of the out of control marketer-driven hype.

I am happy to see an instance like this where a new owner wants to restore the original look to the car. The Turbo badge on the decklid says it all.

I agree with all the above, what should be there is what's there stock, when you start adding its just too much, and when removing all, it looks like your car was resprayed and the bodyshop forgot to reinstall the badges, or haven't received them yet.

that is insanely poorly done and not very well thought out at all. its a 911, not a civic.

dental floss + hairdryer + an a little bit of wd40/gooGone + elbow grease can remove the grime.

you can also reapply adhesive and do things properly and oem style - as there are tons of guides here how (if you'd like)
