997.1 Black Turbo logo...looking for a source

Recently purchased 2007 Turbo and looking to replace standard chrome factory TURBO rear deck lid insignia with a black unit. Can anyone provide a source or has one to sell?

I'm doing the same thing and have researched this subject thoroughly. No one manufactures or sells the correct black turbo emblem in the correct script. Don't be fooled by the imitations on eBay or Amazon, they are C--P and not the right size too. There are also do-it-yourself You Tube videos that explain how to remove, paint, and reinstall the emblem/s but I'm not interested in that. Today I went to my local auto paint and body shop that I've worked with in the past. They will remove my emblems (turbo S), apply a base coat, paint them gloss black to match my wheels, apply clear coat and re-nstall them for $50.00 including the front washers. Not a bad deal. Should take about a day.

That sounds like a great turn-key solution. I may end up din but not looking frwd to it. I heard that there is a company that custom paints them....runs about $220, which is about the same as buying a new badge then painting it. Your deal is even better. Thx.
