OEMatch Badges. Crests & Logos — Fit, Function, Confidence

OEMatch focuses on badges, crests and logo-related items selected for Porsche applications and offers alternatives intended to match original fit and finish.

Available Types

Understanding OEMatch Badges. Crests & Logos

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original badges, crests & logos. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the badges, crests & logos and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM badges, crests & logos engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.

Badges and crests serve both identity and finishing roles. They are made in plated alloys, enamelled metal or durable plastics and are fixed using studs, clips or pressure-sensitive adhesive pads. Correct replacement requires matching the original fixing method, surface preparation and alignment to avoid raised edges or water traps.
