Okay, don't flame me, just asking for honest advice, (try not to get hostile) i don't have too much of an opinion, but im just curious to what porsche enthusiasts in general feel.

What do you think of not large or brightly colored winshield decal, i was picturing one that said porsche in the porsche style font..

Hell, i'll throw a poll in for fun.

I say, when they are giving you sponsorship money then an eyebrow is cool, if not then rice, rice, baby! It can be tastefully done however.

The only bannner I would put on my porsche would be a Rennlist banner.



My audi has a simple tint banner. Looks good IMHO.

Exactly, if you like the looks of the banner across the window then thats all that matters. Its your car.

Well, if you think its cool then go for it. In my opinion I have always like a little PORSCHE decal in the quarter window, in the correct font.

As an Old Fart (49) I can remember when big PORSCHE letters were popular on mostly 914s and some 911s back in the 70s. You want to go retro to get your mojo working, have at it Baby!

I removed the accessory light with 944 on it that was between my two rear lights. Jackass install required 2 6mm holes through the back of the car. At least the JA was smart enough to peel the options sticker out of the way before drilling through the nice red sheet metal. I think I will use it as a night light. my GF will appreciate that!

I think the idea of a Porsche banner across the windshield is particularly of use to us older folks who constantly forget what brand of car it is that we own. Plus it would be a lot easier to spot where our cars in the vast expanse of the Wal-Mart parking lot.

tough call. i see a lot of windshield banners.... on one of two kinds of cars: absolutely hideaous rice-burners (and i don't mean show cars. i mean like rusty 89 civic 4drs sponsored by "gilette" racing aka huge nasty aluminum wings) OR -- on real race cars. but that's stuff like "SPEEDSPORT TUNING" or "RENNLIST" or "BODYMOTION" "KELLY MOSS" you get the picture.

for a mostly-stock (and i don't mean "i have a cd player, and a k&n filter) car, that is driven on the street, i'd steer clear...
