Default Porsche script on 996 C4S reflector

My car has the OEM AeroKit - so with the curve on the wing.... there's no place for the normal Porsche and "Carrera 4S" emblems...

So, I wanted to try something out - had a buddy print up some vinyl decals and added it to my C4S............

first impression is that I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.... may have him re-do it a tiny bit smaller....

That looks great! It has a neat retro feel. Any other pictures of the car?

Super cool! I have thought of doing this too, but didn't know how and it is hard to find any pics of it done decent... So thanks for posting!

Looks real nice, did you also consider doing the Carrera 4S script instead? Wonder how that would look compared to what you have now.

The 996 C4S with a factory aerokit is quite a rare bird. Very nice....

Looks great. Indeed a bit smaller might look great as well. Just in case i have a black "Carrera" badge if you want to incorporate it somewhere.

Looks cool! Makes it have some 993 flavor. When you re-do it, have your graphics guy tighten up his product a little; consistent letter widths and line thicknesses, and then make sure to get it perfectly centered!

Looks great! I'll trade you my C4S trunk lid for the aero?! Come on it's a fair deal! Plus $500?

I took the liberty of retouching your photo Iko - hope you don't mind. Not perfect but gives you a sense of what it might look like with smaller lettering.

Current


Medium


Small



FWIW, I think the lettering is a neat idea.
Cheers

I really like the idea. Always thought the center reflectors with the Porsche logo inside looked cool. As far as size, I'd prolly would make it so large. I like 91one's smallest version. But regardless, it's a great idea!

I wonder if a sticker could simulate the old school, embedded stencil?
