Default Reinstallation of "PORSCHE" badges on the rear bumper doesn't have to be awful [video

A few years ago I created a template which we have used to reinstall the individual "PORSCHE" badges for 991 rear bumpers. The purpose was to consistently and precisely space the badges exactly as they were when a car leaves the factory. This is important because when installing pre-cut PPF on the 991 rear bumpers, the gaps/seams/reliefs for the badges look awful and leave room for wearing/damage on the paint. So we remove the badges, send them off to be refinished/tape reinstalled with computer cut patterns and install the rear bumper PPF without literal and unsightly holes in the protective film.

In the following video I explain some of these nuances along with the benefits of this method when also coating the surface. To me it's pretty typical stuff but some folks have ask how we do this process and I hope the video helps out with that.

I hope y'all enjoy!

The video is no longer available - can you update or send? I have an AC issue, would love to at least troubleshoot it myself with help from the video.

Thanks,
Kevin

It's available from where I sit, in the USA. Are you in another country, by chance?

edit - after posting this and the page refreshed, the embed endpoint at youtube failed. Weird

The direct link is here, and continues to work: youtube.com/watch?v=hX3e4yz6U7A
