Default Best Intake and Cam Cover PORSCHE Decals?

As part of the engine fire re-do I'm having the intake and cam covers refinished with the Duplicolor system. It is a silver/gold colour previously done by Bill Swift on his car.

Suggestions on what to use for the intake and cam cover PORSCHE lettering?

Can they be easily installed with the intake and covers in place?

Thanks.

For the cam covers, Nicole has, what I think, is the best.
Very nice and good product.

Don't have it but have seen it on a friend's car.
For the intake, can use the same as the cam cover, very nice, or use some computer cut vinyl lettering. Still very nice but for less $.

You should be able to find the lettering kits at many of the 928 suppliers...
Jager/Garage9 has the red black lettering as well as several other choices...

Those intake PORSCHE letters appear to be dark blue, not black.

Exactly what I would like for my midnight blue GTS.

Where can I get that colour? Nicole only sells black.

Thanks!

If you have time - about 4-6 weeks - we can get them made in certain custom colors. Here are the available colors and materials:

In your case, Randy, the blue would be much brigher than your midnight blue.

Randy,
As it is computer cut vinyl, it can be made in a wide variety of color.
If you want, I can make you a set.

I used the ones from Garage9 (Jager) and like the way they look.
