Default 928 Decals

This site http://www.porschedecals.com/ is new to me. I just ordered the PORSCHE decal for my rear bumper. Their decals appear to be of better quality than the last one I purchased (from a well known source) that didn't work out too well. I believe they are out of Malta.

UPDATE: BEWARE! I posted the above September 16th, the day I ordered a decal from these folks. I STILL HAVED NOT RECEIVED IT!!! They have said they sent two, but nothing has arrived. I am begining to think I have been scammed. What action can you take against a company in Malta? Anyone else had trouble dealing with these guys???

Thanks Don,

I too bought some from a well known source but they were the wrong size to fit the indent. Will see how well these work.

Shane:

I too purchased a decal that was damn near impossible to install because it was so thin and flimsy. They didn't stick very well either. Seems to me this would be a great area of products for Jaeger Engineering. Plastic letters rather than the decal type that would stand out a bit. They haven't seemed interested after inquiring.

That's encouraging. Are they based in the UK?

I bought a set from these guys, the quality was good and the price as well, but installation is a PITA. Getting them lined up perfectly is a task I never mastered so they sit in an envelope for another time when I have more patience.

The shipping takes a while (USPS) but I would recommend them.

Hi guys,
I bought them and they are based on Malta of all places. They have all kinds of colors, you could get a little wild with them. Mitch is correct, they are a royal pain to put on. But once on it looks really super. I got white P-O-R-S-C-H-E and flat red 928s2 for my meteor metallic. Taking off the old stickers is even more trouble. Don't have any blunt movable objects close by when doing this task. Patience is the key as you would not want to drive a poshe around.

JAGER does sell raised lettering.



I was quite happy with my "OEM combo" . I purchased the "928 GTS" emblem from the dealer, I also got an "S" from the boxster s, and then the "4" from the carrera 4.

I dropped the GTS letters and then had all the emblems sprayed black (the boxster S and 4 were both different color grey/silver) and I ended up with a real nice "928 S4" in cool Porsche (new) font raised lettering. All factory as well!

Bare in mind though that I have a GTS rear cover, and I have these letters in the top center above the GTS reflector. The letter "S" is larger than the other letters, so this may pose a problem with the earlier covers.

When my shark gets back from the body shop with its new skin I'll post a picture.

Brendan: I've got the same color S4 - what color decals do you put in the back? Which decals? The PORSCHE lettering or the S4?

I got my lettering from the same place, and am very happy with them as they fit and look perfect.

Here are pics from Road America, and special thanks to Ernest Wong who enthusiastically captured the entire event:

Don/Shane,

I sent them an e-mail this morning stating that they should consider making an S3 decal. I will let you know if they reply. A decal similar to the 928 S2 with the outline for the 2 would look great with a outlined 3.

Don, nice wheels. I have the same ones on my car and get some very favorable comments on them. Most non-Porsche owners think they are factory which says to me that they fit the style of the car and look like they belong on it.
