Default best size for a porsche emblem on side fender

Ok so i tried searching on this topic but all i'm getting is a blank screen.

I'm looking to put a Porsche decal on my side fenders, something like this one..



Only thing is this one looks small and inadequate.. Whats the best size for a Porsche decal, and are those OEM vinyl decals such as these durable enough to put on my car?



Also, does anyone know what other decals are available? I'm not to excited about the whole 3D look of the vinyl decals.

The best size is no size. Those stickers all have this shadow effect on them, that make them kinda meh looking anyhow.
Keep your car looking good by not putting Ferrari-like, yet crappy quality stickers on a nice Shiny Guards Red Fender.

Those don't look very good IMO. I have however been giving thought to putting on a pair of those black rock guards that go in front of the rear tires.

ok no sticker it is.. i've been looking at those black guards too, my thought was to touch up my cars paint, paint my twists white and put those black rock guards on, i saw a picture somewhere of a car that had all of that done on it and it looked really good. where do you get those anyway? again, i'm only thinking about it, if i can find the picture and take a good look at it i'll be able to make up my mind..

edit:

found something close to it, but in white..

Maybe a nice subtle nod to the Ferrari like this would work better

What if instead of stickers you used the metal badges from the header panel? It would require drilling some hose in the fender but I think it would be classier than stickers.

I vote no sticker. Heck, I don't even want the 944 or turbo emblem in the back. I like the stealth car concept best.

I wouldn't suggest it. Even though I live in a pretty nice area, I wouldn't want to be flaunting the fact I drive a Porsche. Jealous other kids :P

For the people that recognize it it's cool. For everyone else, it's like a 300ZX or an RX-7 or something.
