I'm sure Bumperplugs or I could have a go at painting a silver 'S', but I didn't know if anyone actually sells the part ready to go?

I currently have a black Carrera S badge however it required me to purchase a 'Carrera GTS' badge and only used the simply not use the 'GT'. I just got around the realizing though that the 'S' I have is slightly smaller than the 'S' on the normal Carrera S emblems.

Minor niggle I know, but if I could track down a proper black 'S' emblem I'd change it out.

I'm sure that would be the easiest/cheapest way to go. I'm just so **** I'm afraid I'd have a difficult time matching the black Carrera script. It almost looks satin black, not flat.

Buy new "Carrera" and "S" badges, spray paint them both at the same time, and then install them together. Should be less than $100 tops. Really simple DIY job.

I'm already into the Carrera GTS badge for $100, I'd prefer not to spend another $100 if at all possible.

I too came across this and after applying the smaller non factory "S" I was pleasantly surprised.

Where abouts? I haven't seen it. I wonder if the 'RS' emblem is the same general size and style and I could just cut off the 'R'.

Hmm, I've searched around quite a bit and have yet to come across one. I may just do the Silver S instead and see how it looks. My car is Guards Red otherwise I would do the Red S.

Anyone else have problems with the emblems adhesive not lasting? My car is a 2011 and some of the letters is loose. I will probably have to buy a new set this summer. I might go with just GTS instead of Carrera GTS since I haven't seen anyone go with that before.

I bought a roll of thin 3M double sided adhesive specifically designed for automotive applications such as emblems/badges. It's very thin both in width and thickness (perhaps even slightly thinner than factory) and you can simply cut to size and re-apply your unstuck emblems. You have to trim the tape a bit with a razor but it's easy peasy with a little patience. Definitely a better alternative than buying a whole new badge for $100 just because the adhesive gave up.

perhaps buy the plain silver one from suncoast, then take it your local body shop and have them spray it for you.
