Car's in storage, ordering up some stuff to repaint the calipers...what is size of the PORSCHE decal on the caliper?

Thanks

1/4" tall IIRC -- aspect ratio gives length.

Dont recall length, 3" IIRC

Stock size is 3" x 1/4". Let us know what you find, I'm going to be doing mine here shortly too. I've read mixed reviews on a couple of suppliers.

I got mine off of ebay a few years ago. I think they may be slightly larger, but honestly on the car you cant tell, they look great. After applying them, I put on a couple of coats of high temp clear. The guy on ebay used to give you six, so in case you didn't get them right where you wanted, you had a couple of extras.

Hey Darin,
what clear did you use? And is the ebay guy still around?

I'm not sure if this is the same guy, but these look the same- No affiliation, yada, yada, yada

The guy I used to buy them from sold them as standard larger than the factory 1/4" tall decals -- I had him make the correct size no problem.

These actually say they are 1/4" tall

But 3.5" long -- need to be 3" in length if you want the orginal size. He's made me 'Brembo' decals as well that I've applied to calipers for folks in the past.

Are they the same size front and rear? I was about to buy from Suncoast, then decided to look at Ebay, then saw there were responses to this post. One of the eBay postings pointed out that the front in his kit was larger than the rear, which made me wonder if that is the case or if he just has a funky set?

JPS, I did these last year, and AFAIK, the front and rear decals are the same size. I sourced them from Suncoast (the 3" ones) since the eBay ones are slightly larger and not "stock". I couldn't find the 3" ones anywhere else.

They are the same size front and back. The Ebay ones have a slightly larger spacing between the letters and at 1/4" are just a touch taller. I just measured some stock brakes and they are a little less than 1/4" tall x 3" wide.

I had measured the decals earlier. I'm not sure if you can order them in metric dimensions. I'd be interested if you can.

Has anyone recently purchased some Porsche decals (white) in the factory dimension (3" x 1/4") besides from Suncoast? Probably my last resort at $6/each + shipping too.

I noticed most ebay sources are 3.5" in length at the shortest. Also xenonmods seems to be not selling these anymore for p-cars.

Thanks!

I got mine from Eagleday.com (no affiliation). They offer both decals and stencils. I used the stencils and am very happy with the results.
As I recall, the dimensions of the stencils were within a millimeter or two of the measurements I took before I bead-blasted my calipers.
