Can someone with "model designation delete" from Factory replicate the same measurement as in my picture and report back with correct factory measurements?

Specifically looking for the measurement from the top of letter "P" to the first line in bumper ( See Arrow on tape). Currently I am at 2.5" and I feel that is too low, need to redo the whole thing. I DO know that all letters are at a different height but letter "P" should give me a good starting point.

Thank you in advance



Demosta - just measured. The pic you have is way low. I measured from the edge as pictured to the top of the P and it is 1 1/8". The letter itself is 7/8 inch.

Thank you sir. I was sure it was too low, just didn't know exactly how low.

Thanks again for taking the time

I have to say, I was going to do precision measurements and plan on an hour and a half to do it on a nice sunny day. Then I said "F-it", I'll just go out in the garage and do it, about 10 p.m same night they arrived from Suncoast. I think it took me 15 minutes and I just used a tape measure. The key is - the letters are on a subtle curve. I just eyeballed mine. They came out just fine - if its off, I don't see it.

Why would we do that when we can sip a scotch and wait for you to give us the info we desire?

My T came with model delete and Porsche seems to be in the same location as yours per your pic. I added 911 carrera T not knowing all this so it is off on the low side. Looks just fine however. Debating about going back to just Porsche on the rear or adjusting to factory specs. 1st world problems!🙄

Are you adding 911 carrera gts below? If not, I believe your Porsche letters are in the correct place. And I think the ‘15/‘16 GTS rocks!
