Painted Turbo LOGO Help

I am planning to get a Turbo logo in color. I have a 2001 Arctic Silver Mettalic 996 Turbo.

What color do you think will look good on this? Since I do consider you family, all advise will be taken into consideration.

I was thinking Guards Red but I think red is played out. Flat Black sounds cool though.

Ohh and how do you remove the existing logo? I tried the dental floss and fishing string trick, but it didn't work it just snaps the string! Any help would be great on this.

Thanks!

It is held on with a double sticky foam tape.

I would try Goo Off solvent. There is also a label remover at http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_...?Pricode=WK686

I would test and make sure that the solvent doesn't effect the paint. Test in an unseen location.

I was thinking of adding the word "Twin" in front of the existing "Turbo" insignia.

If you heat it with a hair dryer it will be easier to remove. You might want to contact Eric @ Bumperplugs.com he is a board sponsor and can get you any color emblem you want.

I've gone through three "Turbo" badges in the last year looking for the right color. I first changed my stock chrome one to a Carbon Fiber one (purchased for about $30 off eBay); the particular CF used, however, was too light (didn't match my CF wing/mirrors). I finally changed to a black logo (http://jageng.com/garage9/product_in...1a7b1bf0f432d5 for about $25); I'm happy with how it came out. FWIW, I've heard the BumperPlug logos are very high quality, but are also somewhat expensive ($100+).

Thanks its on Order

Thanks! I just ordered from bumperplugs.com

Yes it is very high quality from him, but well worth it. Since I am very critical of quality for my Turbo.

I orderd Cobalt Blue! Should look hot with my Arctic Silver Mettalic paint and CF wing and black exhaust tips!

Please take pics as I am thinking of changing my turbo badge as well, but haven't decided on a color yet. I would be very interested to see a blue badge on your car because my car is arctic silver as well...Thanks!!


Anyone else with colored badges, please post pics so I can get an idea of what looks good...Thanks!!

Damn that looks good. Far better on the car than in our shop! We have been producing quite a few lately. If we can get enough folks who all want one color at a time, in enough volume, we'll consider a group buy (per color). Email me if interested, with color choice, and I'll put the list together to see if we can help with the cost a bit.
