Hey points same thing happened to me about 3 months ago I personally like the look of the badge, as its kind of like the "bow" on a package I ordered a new one from Eric at BP.com, and it was a very easy replace install. I love your car, but think it looks a tad bare-***'d without the badge. IMHO

I think it would look good with the badge back on. Consider painting the badge the same color as the exterior like others have mentioned. The bottom line-do what you like the best, this stuff gets real subjective

Me, I'm too cheap to pay for a vanity plate (unfortunately, my cheapness has not rubbed off on my wife).

i like it both ways...what does that mean??? LOL It looks clean with your white. I also like the badge with he red S Eric at Bumper Plugs sells.
I wonder how a Porsche emblem like on the hood would look on the back? Maybe not so good.

My new TT came with the badge painted Basalt (color of car) and I like the subdued look. But I think I would prefer to have a badge versus no badge.

On a related note to the related note, I avoid buying clothing that has the company logo emblazoned on it for no other purpose than to promote the brand, like shirts with the Nike swoosh across the front. You're effectively paying for the privilege of advertising for someone else for free. I refuse to do that without compensation. These companies should either heavily discount these articles of clothing or give them away for free in return for the free advertising you do for them. But for me, they'll need to pay me to advertise for them. That's why I refuse to buy Ralph Lauren shirts or Lacoste shirts when they were popular or any other articles of clothing with the company's name visibly displayed in front. I prefer the subtle look that has the company name only on the hidden inside tag.
That's how I roll.

I've ordered my Porsches without the cheap plastic "Hey look at what model I'm driving" lettering. All it is is a trap for wax, leaves, bugs, and as you discovered, the lettering is very easy to rip off with a drying towel. You just saved about 4 ounces of weight off the rear and also increased the aerodynamic efficiency of the car.
