Hi,
I have an 84 944, missing the corner driver side rear sticker. I ordered one (original Porsche one), but have no idea how to put it on. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike

 

Is it between two pieces of paper? Peel one off, line it up perfect, stick it on, peel off the back...Watch the air bubbles...

How much? I was thinking about gittin' one...

 

I was at the dealer one day and saw this guy putting graphics on a car. He used some dish soap with water in a spray bottle. This allowed him to adjust the decal before it set up.
I haven't tried it myself but it makes sense.

Good Luck
Ken

I tried first with dish soap in a spray bottle, but the soap turned to bubbles when I sprayed so I just poured some soap on. It was easy to adjust the stonguard to the correct position. I used a plastic (what's it called in English? Putty Knife? Spatula??) to get the air/soap out from behind the stoneguard afterwards. Although I ordered original Porsche Stoneguards, the shape was slightly different than the ones that were on the car. But it turned out very nice!!

 

If you are talking about the PORSCHE decal, here is what you do:

Prep: I used a wax remover to remove any wax from the car before applying the decal.

1. Fill up a bucket with warm, soapy water.

2. Before removing any of the backing from your decal, spend a few minutes figuring out exactly how you are going to position it. Get a few reference points in your head.

3. Remove the first backing sheet, and immerse the decal in the warm, soapy water.

4. Position the letters on the car. The soapy water will allow you some time to adjust the positioning as necessary.

5. When you are confident that the position is right, then remove the second backing sheet.

6. Use a credit card to smooth out the letters and remove any air bubbles.

7. If you stripped the wax first, then wait a few days or a week before applying wax to the area.

 

Thanks Mark.
I'll try this weekend, and if I get stuck, I may email you. The only difference is I'm doing the side decal not the Porsche middle.

Thanks again!

 

I thought the "944" was a plaque.. or am I confused?

I'm looking for the 924S decal for the same location..rear pass side below hatch. Anyone ever seen a replacement for sale anywhere??

 

Are you talking stone guards or what??

 

Are you talking about the "944" on the rear driver's side, just above the taillight?

If so, then it is just a piece of plastic with adhesive on it.

1. Remove wax from area of application.

2. Peel off the backing paper.

3. Line it up and stick it on.

Very simple.

 

Chris,

Performance Products, Vertex Auto, Tweeks, etc. should all have the 924S decal.

If you guys are confused about what I am talking about...it was the corner decal (next to the PORSCHE center decal)....the sticker that goes around the curve near the PORSCHE sticker. I wasn't talking about the 944 decal.

Sorry for the confusion

 

Mike is talking about the long decal that says == P O R S C H E == and goes right above the rear bumper. That dumb set of stickers costs nearly $60 from the dealer.

 

Chris I have the hookup on the "924S" decals. I spent the time scanning and cleaning up a decal and have print shop that will make the for me. Price is $25 shipped. Let me know if you want one. I have sold many here on the list and every single person has been very pleased with the quality. The decal is a perfect replica of the original and can be made in any color, but the most common ones are Black on clear and Silver on clear. Though I did have someone order a Yellow on clear for his black car.

BTW...the 924S decal has been discontinued for over 3 years, even though these companies show them in their catalog. I spent many, many hours in search for a genuine, to no avail.
