Default Added "Porsche" Side Decals to '16 GTS Cab

Thanks to inspiration from my fellow Rennlisters, I took the leap of faith and performed my first DIY modification of my GTS. I purchased my decals for 50 pounds at:
http://www.designstuffonline.co.uk/v...91_decals.html

Each side took about an hour. I am not going to go into details about how I did it but I am happy to answer questions if you have any. I have included before and after photos. I am really happy with the way it turned out. It is like when you get new sneakers when you are a kid - you feel like you can run faster. With my new look, my car feels even faster (placebo effect!) and I like that it is a nod to Porsche's past and its race car heritage.

I found some valuable DIY videos on YouTube which made the application of the badges more streamlined. Thanks, Rennlisters, for your inspiration and tips!

Looks great. I have Agate also and I was wondering what the black decals would look like. Well done.

Love it. Wonder if I can do that on my Carmine Red GTS Cab. Is there any side decal option that keeps the Porsche applied "GTS" in place on the lower side? Did you have "GTS delete"?

You could do a two tone stripe with "GTS" lettering instead of"PORSCHE"

I've seen a few threads on these decals.

What are the wide body folks doing?

Removing the stone guard, installing decal then installing a new stone guard...... or just removing and leaving it off?

I had the clear stone guard removed before the Xpel. The decal is on top of the Xpel.

Thanks, I will look into that. Got the urge to do a few things, but keeping it true to 911 origins.
