Default Dimensions of 'PORSCHE' caliper lettering?

In typical fashion, I stripped my GTS calipers before actually thinking about how I was going to replicate the lettering.... Anyone know how big the 'PORSCHE' lettering is on GTS front and rear calipers? Xexonmods' decals have been cease and desisted by Porsche NA but there are Ebay vendors that can print them any size and color desired.

Rob: The original lettering style is not using the Porsche logo font. You can buy the decals for masking on ebay, but they are too large for the rears. It seems you need different sizes for front and rear.

In the rear you have about 3"; in the front it's an extra half inch on the S4 calipers.

This is on a 91 model.

Is it possible to buy the decals from Porsche?

(I ask this under the assumption that the answer is "no" so that I can bitch about PAG ceasing-and-desisting a vendor of a product PAG will not themselves provide.)

No, you can't.

I've been thinking of offering them, but it's always a risk to get Porsche's attention...

Hmmm.... and a risk involved in open discussions of strategies to assess the above risk and mitigation methods of same.
