Default WTK: Can a person by just the black GTS emblem on back

I am doing the 911 designation only on the back of my GTS order. I wold like to put the GTS raised lettering in the place of the 911 spot. If I do just a model delete, it moves the whole PORSCHE emblem down.

But I was wondering if just the GTS emblem part is buyable? Thanks

Thanks StG. It says GTS emblem in flat black but it shows the whole Carrera S emblem with it. Do you think the GTS part is separate? Not to be a dumbo here. Or its the whole emblem and I just use the GTS part.

If, you get the whole thing, then you just use the "GTS". They're all individual letters.

In this case, it sounds like it's only the "GTS". For that price, $39 you wouldn't get the whole Carrera etc ... Trust me.

But order with the "911" like you said. That way "Porsche" is in the correct spot.

Thanks very much STG 991. Do you have a good idea how to get them straight by chance. I was thinking of running a tape edge under the 911 before removing them, but he left to right I want right. Thanks again

Tape edge under is good. Definitely measure and mark the center of the "911" as a reference.

DO NOT use a heat gun. Just nylon fish line to pull and cut through/yank off. Any residue left on the bumper can usually be rubbed off with your finger or isopropyl alcohol.

If you heat it up, there's a chance of pulling the clear coat up with it. It's happened to guys on the forums.

You can use dental floss as well to remove the letters.

That too. Mint flavored works best

better to create a template, take a photo, scale it appropriately and print it out, cut out the letters ...

you probably want to make sure that your interline, inter word and inter letter spacing is correct.

I've spent far too long trying to decide on this issue, so have spec'd the full '911 carrera gts'. When it's delivered I'll remove and re-arrange into '****'; apt considering where it'll be placed. Am totally miffed that Porsche Exclusive refused my reasonable request.

you have been watching too much top gear: c.f "Peniston Oils" and "Larsen's Biscuits"
