I think the red S stops your eye and breaks up the look to much for me.
Your car looks great! All very awesome mods. Love CF
Remember...it’s what YOU like. Enjoy!
thank you for the compliment, I was also leaning on all black at first for uniformity.. then my son told me he prefers the red S it kind of melted my heart lol

it’s an easy mod to switch so I’ll try the red first to make him smile then I can swap later for a different look

looks great in red. Yes plasti dip is a nice way to test things at low cost.

You cannot go wrong with the Black or Red "S" so as you said try the Red one and if you change your mind swapping it with the Black one will take just a minute.

PS - I am glad I was able to get you what you needed!
you really went beyond your way to get me the whole package , thank you so much! You are officially the emblem master here lol

I vote black. You have a gorgeous 911 that draws enough eyes without a red S.

Does the red S make it faster? I switched to just Porsche. When I need to replace the PPF I think I will switch to vinyl letter so it’s flat and easier to clean, still just P O R S C H E.

I also switched over to the red S...I have the read gauges and calipers, so I think it looks pretty good.

thank you for the compliment. For the reason mentioned above , I think I’ll try the red first then if I don’t like it, it’s a matter of removing the double side tape & sticking the black S there. Cheap & easy mod.

lol on the HP gain.

I also have the Porsche only right now, but I feel it’s missing something in the space below it. I guess we are never happy with what we have lol

thank you for posting your pictures. The red S stands out nicely.

i also have red dials & red seatbelts. I might stick that S inside the cabin once I’m tired of it in the rear.

You will have to contact them directly to see if they can get you the larger "S", and be sure to specify the sheen you want, either Matte or Gloss. You can also get it from Eric at Bumperplugs.com: https://www.bumperplugs.com/index.ph...&path=3_32_160

I got my emblems from Bob Z so his link should be good as the red S is slightly bigger than the black S
