Default Cayenne Tailgate "Letters"

Morning all,

Lurker for a while, but just noticed that someone (most likely) or something (less likely) has pried off the "s" in Porsche from my tailgate, and aside from leaving some scratches, it now looks terrible without the S. Does anyone have any idea where to source these? Ideally a Canadian source, but ill take anything at this point. Have already tried Ebay without luck, and suncoast has them, but part is 65 and shipping to canada is 56 so looking for an alternative that might be more reasonable for shipping.

Thanks

Good morning,

Sorry to hear this happened. I was going to suggest Suncoast, but I see you've already checked them and are not thrilled with the price. Just keep in mind, with OEM parts come OEM prices, which can be a bit steep even with Suncoast's discounts.

I'd suggest you just keep trying eBay. Replicas do pop up there from time to time. Good luck.

Do you have local junkyards? Troll those to see if there's any Porsches there. Then either go pull the letters or have them do it for you.

Should be able to get it for a few bucks... if you can find a wrecked Porsche.

It would help if we knew specifically where you're located. Is there a Standard Auto Wrecker near you? They're sometimes able to find the part for you.

you could go to a local print shop and have them make a vinyl S "sticker ". maybe in a contrasting color. similar to what some gt 3s have.

Man that sucks......I have a new set of letters but only needed the S as well. Would have given it to you if it were another letter.

Default thanks all..

I will call around to the local wreckers... that was a good idea that i overlooked. I have also in the interim got a quote from the local dealer, 94 bucks canadian, so if the wrecker idea doesn't pan out, will just bite the bullet and get from the dealer.

I will have all the other letters up for grabs if i go that route, happy to pass them along to those in need for cost of postage. (thanks to the member above for that idea)

I have the silver badging off my 2009 957 "Cayenne Turbo S" that was removed from my car for the widebody build. I have new emblems in the drawer I'll be installing. If you want any of the old ones, make me an offer.

Keep in mind though that the 'S' from the 957 series is larger than that from the 958s.

And he's looking for the squarish S from the P O R S C H E, not letters from Cayenne Turbo S.

Ah yes, I didn’t catch that. So that eliminates the 957 entirely as it doesn’t even use the ‘PORSCHE’ lettering on the tailgate.

Also, did the OP say whether his emblems were satin silver, chrome, gloss or matte black? All of these are available as OEM applications.

Take all the letters off and come up with your own name in the Porsche font:
