I saw in one of the newer car mags that a Porsche has a sticker of the emblem on the hood to save weight. I like that idea a lot. Does anyone sell nice stickers to replace the emblems?
Save what a fraction of 1 gram maybe??

Damn not only does it save weight but it would make ur car more aerodynamic!!! That is almost like adding 25 more whp!!!
In seriousness. If you want the ricks badges but not the price and really don't want the crappy eBay looking ones then stickers of a colored S and colored background would be alot cheaper.

If you wanted to save weight, you wouldn't even put on the sticker, lol... save even more weight.
Just get the black or red badge. I personally don't like shaving the badges off because it looks like a person without their nose. People are so used to seeing a badge there that if it isn't there, they know something's missing and you get this "that's weird..." stigma. Badgeless is clean. Badged is cleaner.

I can't believe people buy into Porsche's marketing gimmick....how is replacing things like door latches with straps and using stickers for emblems a "weight saving" thing? I challenge people to remove all their door latches AND emblems and put it on a postal scale...that amount of weight is negligible even for a go-kart.
If Kia all of a sudden started using straps and stickers then people would bash how "cheap" they've become...

I wonder if the drivers wouldn't be better to loose 20-30lbs.
the frame obviously needs to be constructed out of CF and unicorn horns
