Ill report back with how much HP the $300 mod added :-)

Does the dealership have the template to properly place the lettering?
I have the letters already and was going to attempt this myself (I was going to try to make my own template out of either paper or cardboard.

My understanding is that there is a template that connects to some larger device so its perfectly centered. Im sure there are people who have actually done it but i think it largely depends on what emblems you want. I debadged then had the PORSCHE centered, like they would at the factory, which would be near impossible without a template since you are moving the letters to a place they have never been.

It seems some people just debadge the 2nd line and then replace the top line with whatever color badge you bought. I think this would be doable without a real template. Throw some tape around each letter before you remove it, then you just put the new letter inside the box and im betting it will line up pretty well. I think the trick would be moving it down and not having the entire line slightly angled wrong. Im sure its doable with enough thought though.

Im very glad i had the dealership do it after i realized the factory centers the PORSCHE when the 911 Carrera 4S is deleted.

Some members mentioned their dealership or local body shops didn't have it but my local dealer has it and installed it at no charge.

And you have to double check what they did to your car. In my case, the local dealer mistakenly replaced the right front side marker from a 992 model. It looks funky.
