At about $85, I'm not so sure you'd want to remove it.

She's been on almost a year and is very solid, colors are silver or black.

The graduation is very uniform starting with ~1/16 clear holes through the silver at the "o" to ~1/16" silver dots on the clear at the 'T".

Search "jurg" here, he may know where to find it. Give Sunset a call too.

If you do get one mix some rubbing alcohol with water 50% mixed and spray it all over the fender where you are applying the insignia. Then carefully peel off the protective film on the sticky side and carefully lay down on fender. Then use a spatula or small rubber body shop scraper and work from the inside out to push all air bubbles out of the sticker! Then peel off protective film on outside and see how you did? You might have to use the spatula agin at this point to wipe out some small bubbles.

I read about the 50/50 mix, skipped it.

Bought the little squgee, never used it.

My decal didn't want ot come off the backing, and I freaked. I ended up misting the backing and prying it away from the decal on the car.

BTW, I ordered a black one, invoice says black, but it wasn't black when I got the backing off.

That first pic shows the "wait and see" misting, what you don't see is me running around the garage like a little girl trying to figure out what to do next!

Hello from a n00b.

I was wondering if anyone has any pictures, or opinions for that matter, of a black 944T with the turbo decal? I have been contemplating putting one on mine after it gets a little more...presentable.

Turns out I hadn't searched enough. There was a link to a picture of a black car with a silver decal in an old thread (whose link I can't post because I'm a newbie).

What do you guys think? Does it look good (black with a decal)?
Did a turbo decal even come on a black car stock?

Default Heres a black with silver insignia for you!

I think they look great with the silver insignia, obviuosly yours would look like the faded silver one on the red 951! But this is the same color combo it looks great.

I think the CS decal looks cool and would like to do a black one for my car. But i would hate having to explain to everyone at get together's why my car says 'Club Sport' on the side when clearly there was never a US bound club sport car.

So model your car after the Euro version! I like the euro front bumper a lot better than the US spec version. Plus you already have the Euro rear bumper! You're getting close!
