Default 928 rear bumper decals

Are these available or can you hand paint the porsche and find a decal for the 928s?

I have an embossed style of these decals; they are available in a variety of colors, and in versions for the early (78-86) and late (87-95) cars.

Our design for the early cars was redone recently and now fits perfectly.

I just bought some raised lettering from Nicole (www.hookedoncars.com) in black for my silver S4 and am looking forward to their delivery. In true professional form, she told me where I could find other letters that she didn't stock.

I painted mine and if I had to do it over again I would go with the decals.

What was the problem with painting them?

If you try to paint the sunken parts of the letters in the bumper cover, it's pretty difficult to get it all straight and clean - particularly on the S4/GT models, which don't have an edge as well defined as the earlier cars. But even on the earlier ones, you need to have a pretty steady hand to get the edges right.

I got mine from Nicole and they are fantastic quality and look great.

Even if hookedoncars.com was not a sponsor, I would purchase from her again. Great stuff.

I got mine from Nicole last month. Took all of 10 minutes to install and really updated the *** of my apple bottomed beauty. A little expensive (about $70 shipped for both sets) but I didn;t want ot take a chance on getting junk from someone else.

I tried painting first, but it was had to get right. 3 hours of taping to do it right is not worth saving $70 in my book. Plus the raised letters look great.

Yep, Nicole is absolutely right. The painting is very difficult to get right. I guess if you had the steady hand of a pinstripe artist it would be OK. But for the average person I don't recomend it unless you don't want to spend the money on decals. Nicoles raised letters look nice. I am planning on getting those for my widebody after repaint. There is a cheaper alternative that is just a vinyl decal. This alternative is much cheaper but not as cool looking as the raised letters.

Dang Nicole I forgot about the rear raised lettering and planed on ordering them from you. Could have done it when I placed my order for the diecasts and the book yesterday.

Oh well, I placed an order for the raised lettering this morning. This thread pushed me over the edge.

Thanks,

Thanks,
I'll combine the two orders for you and refund the difference it makes in shipping. No problem. Thanks for the order!
