Removing the Badge Off the New 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera S Is Simpler than You'd Think

Despite this, there will still be situations that involve owners who want the dark branding, but are stuck with cars that use the shiny version.

While we're at it, we should explain that, although Porsche offers the option of deleting the model designation on the back of the car, as was the case with the example seen here, the "Porsche" badge adorning the engine compartment is mandatory. However, this can also be painted in the hue of the car, aside from the chromed or high-gloss black versions mentioned above.

Perhaps these people have bought their cars off the dealer lot or maybe they've simply changed their minds. Regardless, the solution is simple and it involves removing the badging. This is 2016, so you mustn't be afraid of uncovering a set of holes in the rear panel.

Instead, the badges are attached to the car using a special adhesive. In order to get rid of the emblems, you'll need to follow a few simple steps, but since hot air is required to alter the state of the adhesive, it's best to turn to professionals.

We've brought along the video below, which will take you through the badge alteration process. Remember, these people make it look natural because they're paid to handle such tasks.

Unfortunately, as yours truly has found out after pulling a similar stunt on a new car, which admittedly wasn't produced in Zuffenhausen, the aftermarket adhesive may not hold up as strongly as the factory one. But that's another story for another time.
