Default Decklid GT3 logo

The 997 GT3 I bought has the logo delete option on it. It is a bit too stealth for my tastes. Does anyone know where I can get a logo for it besides maybe a dealership? I've looked, but don't see any out there for the 997 yet.

Yeah, it's very important that everyone knows it's REALLY a GT3!

Most people, even Porschephiles, don't know the distinguishing features. A Carerra with Aerokit can almost mimic a GT3 to an untrained eye. The only places that say "GT3" on the car are the wheel center caps, the door sills and the carpet below the rear glass. None of these are very noticable from outside the car.

Nobody has faked the center exhaust yet, as far as I know. . .

Same here. I did replace them with the GT3 centers though.

Me three. I replaced mine with GT3 wheel caps as well.

What did you do with your colored crest ones? Thinking about selling mine...

Wow you guys Walker and Yellow, I replaced the Gold caps with Silver crests to match my GT silver
car. They are handcrafted and match my silver hood crest. I will always stay on my silver hood crest but do you think I should replace my silver crested center caps? They are just like the hood badge (not painted)
and of REALLY superior quality.
I am getting a Carbon Center wing next month. I think its a bit more tasteful than the RS wing.
Although if I could get a RS wing for less than my first born I would buy one of those instead.

I've not seen those center caps before. I like 'em!

I've got the silver hood badge as well. Never been a big fan of gold. That was the main reason I got rid of the crests.
Yellow: I kept the crest caps on the stock wheels & have no plans to sell either.
