996 or Speedster or Roadster

[Chumly]

I own a 2004 Carmon Red Carrera Cabriolet 6-speed. I have bought 2 Speedster emblems, 1 Roadster emblem, and a 996 emblem that will all fit in place of the Carrera on rear. The emblems are all written in Carrera style cursif, all the size of Carrera...which would look best?

1. Leave the Carrera emblem on to not "cheapen" the car

2. Replace Carrera with Speedster

3. Replace Carrera with Roadster

4. Put 996 and Roadster on rear

4. Or put on just 996 emblem (size of GT3 emblem)

Please give me thoughts, impressions...thanks...Chumly

BTW, whatever I decide after polling true enthusiats, I will sell the rest pretty cheap (30 bucks ea)...Chumly

There is one more variation that you have overlooked: The PORSCHE emblem that is on the trunk of the Panamera.

Check out Boxtaboy's rendition on his Boxster:

I'm not one to tart up vehicles so this is a personal opinion and I would leave it factory.

I was unaware that Porsche made a 996 emblem in the size of the GT3 emblem, for the rear of a 996. Is it Chrome or Black, or come in both colors? What is the part number?

I like the idea of 996 on the back. Never seen it.

There is no 996 emblem. The is a 911 emblem (used on the Millennium special model).

"carrera" is the classiest.

If this is a real issue for you, change the emblems weekly and see if anyone else notices or comments. If not, "carrerra," imho, is the classiest. Only you can decide.

My vote is "Carrera" badge, or nothing...

Blank decklid I think looks great on a black car but I'm not too sure on a red car.

The speedster/roadster reminds me too much of boxster.

[CabC2]

How about 911? I like that.

[phillipj]

I have both the "911" and "Carrera". I like the "Carrera". I think it looks the best on that space. I also like the idea of "Porsche". Haven't seen that on a 911..

My 2 cents...

I vote for stock. That said I'm about to buy a black Boxster S from Eric the Plug Guy with a stock titanium (silver) version as back-up so a future owner can go back to stock.

[GoBruins]

I vote for stock.

+1 for stock.

[hopeforcash]

I vote for stock. I have a 2003 C4 Cab with a silver/titanium Carrera4

is this stock? I believe this is but want to confirm

Hi there,

what emblem did you go with after all? Any chance you still have the 'Roadster' emblem or you used it??? In case you have it I'm very interested. Please let me know.

:thankyou:
