Red "S" Emblem Replacement..

Hey All..

Saw a 997 with a RED "S" emblem the other day passing by. I think it looked pretty cool.

1. What do you think, cheesey or cool?

2. Anyone know where to get one?

I think it's cool, it also depends what color your car is. I had mine done, I got it from suncoast. Go for it, even if you don't like it, it's an easy fix.

The red S looks great and sometimes better than others depending on your car color. In the end it's your car and you should do whatever you like. Red S's are available many places and price varies greatly. You can always take your OEM S and paint it as well.

Had to shoot from the side with garage door down, car is too reflective. Hope you get the idea. What I didn't think of before I did it was how well it would look with tail light.



Played off of this theme with my wheels:

Eric at bumber plugs is $95, Suncoast much cheaper.. Any reason why? a $95 emblem seems high.

It is pretty simple. Bumper Plugs prefers a higher profit margin. (Nothing wrong with that...)

Suncoast has an advantage with Porsche dealer pricing. If they do not get greedy (and they don't...as I have bought a bunch from them...) they will beat any non Porsche affiliated seller every time. Just my 2 cents...
