As mentioned earlier in the thread I bought the "911" emblem from Eric at BumperPlugs.com. Current prices should be on his site and I understand he gets them directly from Porsche.

As for "Carrera" removal, I didn't want to butcher it so I had a guy do it that I met through the local PCA group when on a group Porsche drive (Cooper's Classy Car Care is his shop). There were a few other things I needed to get done anyway. There are some threads on here I believe if you do a search. I recall someone explaining that they used dental floss and that it wasn't overly difficult.

 

I too like simple -Carrera or 911. Classic elegance.

 

I checked BumperPlugs website for their products/prices. It's interesting how expensive "911" is versus "PORSCHE." You'd think "911" would be around $38.00 or less?!

It's the same all over and I don't understand it either. Actually Bumperplug's price for "911" is one of the lowest I've seen.

 

Attached is a photo of my 40th year Anniversary Rear "911" emblem with the 40 Jahre (which I thought was pretty cool) on my actual 40th Year Anniversary Porsche 911.

@Ersel: Do you have a photo of your car and of course a photo with the rear emblem? Post a photo of how your car currently looks like please.

IMHO, I actually like the new 2012 "PORSCHE 911 CARRERA" emblem. However, I would Purchase the "PORSCHE" emblem with the new 2012 991 series and below it just the "911" emblem. I think that would be a great compromise and still be satisfied with the new 991 series look, and still be clean and the right perfection of sophistication.

Sorry for the low res, I had to find two matching angles...

Very rough / quick for discussion.

Of those four, I prefer option #1. Option #4 would be my next choice of the ones presented here. I also like it when it just says "911".

 

Three is growing on me. Reminds me of the early cars. I have a silver cabriolet, so the chrome is not as prominent.

I do want a change on the emblem. I agree, the bare "911" in chrome also looks very good. However, the cabriolet is already lacking a little of the 911 coupe's style when the top is up due to the rear quarter windows.

 

I upgraded mine. Hell of a difference. The old ones really date the car.

 

I replaced mine too...
