Yes, I did mine on my 997.2 TTS with Plasti Dip. Looked great and reversible.


That's the very cheap way to do it.

Haha you lucky guy! I got quoted and charged $200 by them but I was a first time customer... My SA is Greek, I'm part Greek. I thought we had a connection?

Looks great man!

Ha, my first time too btw. Outside of getting a throttle boot from their parts shop. Lucked out indeed. I worked with Spencer, if that helps in the future.

Dial 911 and/or Big Swole, where did you buy them? Crazy how expensive I'm seeing dealers sell black emblems for. Looking for a more cost effective option.
I ordered them from Gaudin Porsche in Vegas. $480 I think, plus shipping. I tried a few different ways to make the old emblems look good with no luck.

Help guys!!



Any here do or ever see a DIY Spark Plug change thread on the 991 Turbos??


I decided to tackle the Y-pipe and filter myself and was going to do plugs while in there.


I thought there was a DIY plug thread but can't find it.



Thanks,

David

FWIW, BumperPlugs.com used to be pretty reasonable and emblems were very nice . . . just been a while since I've needed them.

You mark it with a paint pen. If the stripe is still on it, not changed.
