"Carrera" vandalism

Some nimrod scraped the "Carrera" logo off my rear deck lid, apparently with a knife. Has anyone else experienced or heard of this? Hope it isn't a trend, like stealing MB and Jag hood ornaments.

Speaking of Carrera badges...

That depends on if you get OEM (Direct from Porsche) parts or not. The Porsche Parts are Plastic with a Chrome overlay. As for the aftermarket I have seen both Plastic and Metal with Chrome.

I personally would go with the Plastic option as cheap as it sounds. You will not get the “pitting†that you would with the Metal aftermarket logos plus you will get a true logo and not a knock off.

We have the carbon fiber and OEM parts in stock. Check out our site www.TheDriversCorner.com or call us toll free at (888) 545-0339.

I should add the silver that you are referring too is call Titanium and is a painted on finish offered by Porsche.
