That's funny....I changed mine a total of THREE times!

Chrome > Black > painted aluminum > Chrome.



Personally, I think the chrome "turbo" is the best one of the lot. Has that classic understated look/feel.

People who see a Porsche and don't know it's a Porsche are unworthy, thus deserving only of pity.

I agree. I like the understated look.. stock should be just fine.
I don't need people to know that I spent over 100k on the car.

Now, if I was 18, I would probably have the emblem in RED "911 TURBO".
But I am old.... 41...

I did just the 911 numbers (I recall the cost being around $100 on the internet) but after a while I took it off as the "911" just didn't look right on the turbo with the wing. It looks great on a regular Carerra though. I had taken off the "turbo" sometime before that and while I have left it bare, I think that the stock turbo nameplate looks the best, and it's nice when color keyed as well. It looks fine without any emblem but the back looks a bit bare without the "turbo" emblem. IMO

"911 turbo" on the car above works well aesthetically I think.
