Another debadging thread...just want opinions and pics





Considering debadging my 2015 TT.


Debadging or painting the logos in white to match? Anyone painted their logos to match the paint? I did it on my 14 black but haven't seen it on white or any other color. I do like the debadged look but that could change tomorrow. These pics were photoshopped to remove the emblems.


Love any feedback. Thanks!

I don't think the 991 Turbos look good without badges.....the rear number is too open looking

For as long as I can remember I have always been an advocate for emblem-less vehicle. IMO it cleans up the look and makes things symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing. Bonus is no chance for wax/polish build-up as well. That white car looks great - do it.

I think black badges would look really good.

I like it. Looks bad ***. It does look a little empty. Simple solution. Add the GT3 bumper grill that sits right under the decklid. Boom.

Nice idea! Do they sell them separately from the GT3 bumper? Easy install?

Personally I like the old school.

Just turbo S.

I don't like how they've gone to adding the Porsche and 911 in the 991.

Looks good. However, some cars do need the badge and IMO, the Porsche is one of them. At least out the Logo to break the monotony.

Bottom line is: it's your car so do as you please.


Btw, I debadged my 370Z and it looked really good. As for the 997, I have no plans of debadging.

Personally, I love the badging on the 991 turbo S. And I think the car looks rather naked without it.

bandi is on a distinguished road

I partially de-badged thinking the large letters a bit too "in ur face"---these cars stick out plenty and it's obvious what they are. Black logos would look good with your black wheels, OP!

Very smart move, visually it dissect the back nicely. Where do you get this part and does it require drilling? I'm actually thinking to repaint the rear reflector from bodycolor back to smoked black. the rear looks a bit "tall" with mono color theme at the moment.
