Outlaw Gear Grill BadgeIn the world of classic Porsche culture, details matter. Every curve, every finish, every modification tells a story about the driver behind the wheel. And for those who choose to take their build beyond factory specifications, one word captures the spirit perfectly: Outlaw.

Outlaw Gear set out to create a badge worthy of that legacy — a precision-crafted emblem that feels as authentic and iconic as the cars it was designed for.

Designed for Porsche Enthusiasts, by Porsche Enthusiasts

The ‘Outlaw’ badge was engineered specifically to mount on the classic rear engine grilles found on vintage Porsches. Whether it’s a 356, early 911, or custom backdate, these vertical grille slats are a hallmark of the air-cooled era. Outlaw Gear wanted a badge that didn’t just fit — it belonged there.

Every curve of the script was shaped to echo the flowing lines of Porsche’s design language, resulting in a piece that looks and feels like it could have been part of the car from day one.

Crafted in Chrome With a Purpose

The badges are chrome plated and polished to a mirror-like finish, allowing them to catch the light beautifully as the car moves or sits proudly at a meet. The smooth, cursive script takes on a sculpted presence when mounted, giving the grille a subtle but unmistakable visual boost.

This isn’t just an accessory — it’s a statement. A small but powerful detail that signals craftsmanship, individuality, and a refusal to settle for standard.

What ‘Outlaw’ Really Means

In Porsche culture, the term “Outlaw” has grown far beyond its rebellious roots. It represents a movement:

Cars built by hand
Ideas that challenge tradition
Personal expression over perfection

The Perfect Finishing Touch

Whether you’re putting the final touches on a long-term project or subtly enhancing a cherished classic, the badge is designed to feel right at home on any air-cooled icon.
