Black 'turbo' badge on a black car?

Anyone have a pic of a black 997 with a black 'turbo' badge? I hate chrome, but it does give the rear a bit of umph. Plus, I think a black badge on a black car would be virtually invisible. Any other color recs? Input appreciated.

I had a black Carrera badge on my black 996 C2. I thought it looked good (the badge, not the car).

But seriously, I think satin black on black would look good. Check out BumperPlugs.

Interesting. Does look a bit washed out, no? Is that real or P-shopped?

As much as I looooove CF, I already have CF overload on the car as it is.

Ouch on the C2. And yes, I fully intend to get one from Eric. Just trying to decide on the color.

What about a satin or flat black logo to give it a bit more pop? Perhaps even a really, really, dark gray would look good? Definitely talk to Eric@BumperPlugs. He does great work and should have some good ideas.

i would stick with the chrome, change the exhaust tips and it adds a nice contrast to the rear

Nice sleepy! Is your car Black or basalt black? What color I the badge? Seems like just enough contrast between the two.

I'm thinking the satin or flat. But what's the diff? Gray is interesting as well, but I think if I go a completely different color, why not, say.....guards red??

I was thinking Guard's Red would look good too. I would seriously just talk to Eric@BumperPlugs and see what he suggests. He has done lots of logos and should know what looks best. While we are talking about BumperPlugs, I want to mention his work is excellent and I would not order a painted logo anywhere else.

Sent him a PM. Hopefully he'll chime in here.

G-red with a black badge looks great. Dunno why the reverse wouldn't hold true as well. Wish I could p-shop worth a damn.
