Used to have them on my old 08 C4S, on the door. They looked great. the problem is, once they either get even a slight corner tear or worn they look horrible. I do like them as they can be subtle but if I do it again on my '14 C4S I'm ordering two sets so when they do look bad I can replace them quickly.

Got them, installed them ( Carrera S in Silver) and am very happy with the quality of the Chis's eBay store version (link above). I can't imagine paying over $100 for these from Porsche He was also a great help with install questions (measurements: 1 " from the edge of the S on the passanger side, the "a" on the drivers side (they are reversed), and 1" from the bottom of the door).

Here is a general installation video he sent me (not for a Porsche):

However, as opposed to the video's instruction to pull the back paper off a few seconds after affixing the the decal, I did figure out that given the small surface area of the script on this decal, you need to leave the lettering on for a long while before re-wetting and pulling the back paper off, otherwise the letters will want to stay adhered to the back paper.

On my Agate car I think it adds a little bit of pop to an otherwise conservative color. Here is a before and after.

I did my black cab like yours. I did not install 911, just Carrera S on the bottom door. The back shows P O R S C H E
911



I did not want the repetition of the model on the car and eliminated the busy 911 Carrera S on the back.

All in all, it makes the car slightly different from the pack.

My '14 TTS came with them. I would not have ordered it with, as it is a freakin' $300 option on the Configurator. I can live with them, but if I wanted them I'd buy off eBay for $50 (or whatever), not $300 from Porsche. I had no idea German vinyl was so expensive!

Can anyone tell me the measurements of this decal? I wanted to buy one but I can select several sizes. I'm looking for "911 Carrera".

If you can only measure Carrera I would be helped as well (L x W).

Mine came with "GTS" there. Only problem is that its a black decal on a black car. So I guess I have the best of both world's; I have the decal and no one can see it "Only the shadow knows" LOL!

My 2017 911 Carrera S came with this Option 'PORSCHE" Logo and Model Designation Painted $595
The dealer removed this at my request - no additional cost.
The staff heaved a sigh of relief.

On the other hand my 2019 Honda FIT looks real cool with FIT on the doors.
LOL

I went custom, a little smaller than the "GTS" sticker from the factory:

I have a few extras if the colors work for someone:



Again, Heather can make anything one wants...I found her on Etsy and she is better than Sandy, who used to make them for a lot of us and she is much better communicating: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ReDesignsG...aid=928b62e5b9

Are you aware of how much additional HP you are leaving on the table with that attitude?
