well, fine detail can show thru in the contrasting...the white piping on the black seats are beautiful, almost rival the painted backs(did I actually just type that!). The wheels are already body color, and you will always have black detail bits from body mouldings, window frames, etc on the exterior.

A standard black Speedster badge would look fine, but...what color are the brake calipers gonna be...did I miss that somewhere? Maybe match the badge to the calipers?

Since the split grill spoiler insert is body color, I think you should go with a white badge.
My reasoning is that you went subtle (body color de-emphasizes it) with the split grill, so carry that over to the closely situated badge.

Brake System will be 993 Turbo, so Red Calipers (last minute addition)... The Script on the calipers is white


I willl make two badges.... i think there is no way out of it.... and decide then. I wanted the car "splashed" in white.... One of my brothers had the most beautiful 928 GT's i ever saw... all in white..... and i love how a white 959 looks, with white wheels..... I think the white car is the only color car that can pull off having body-colored wheels.

My vote goes for body color badging. Makes it subtle and exquisite.

I think all cars look great white on white and black on black for that matter.

White badge looks fine when kept clean but with just a bit of road grim can make it look bad. I prefer to have a bit of contrast myself.

Ben: Nice build and nice thinking on your decisions.

Is your friend's Turbo S white? Sure would like to see pix.

ilko

I beg to differ. It looks beautiful dirty as well

Be careful, you're walking a tightrope. Too much body color starts treading into the 80s cocaine amg zone.

thanks! Yes, he has a White Turbo S, but won't let me take pictures until it is returned to stock Turbo S Equipment. I'll be sure to post a picture when it's ready.


Agreed.

I bought the threshold plates from Rennline Unfortunately they will not make any with Porsche Trademarked Logos anymore.... so i bought the plates, scanned in the "speedster" badge and reworked it in photoshop and illustrator and had a decal made in Matte Black foil by another company as a temporary measure:




I think they came out ok. I will have to redo the sticker because i didn't trace it properly in illustrator...and the 'p' and second 'e' need to be fixed.....
(i didn't clean the plate yet because i didn't want the adhesive to be compromised)

So.... i decided on putting a Turbo brake system. I need help locating:
(1) Front Rotors,
and (2) Pagid RS Blue Brake pads

993 Turbo Calipers:



(the brackets are for a different car)

Rear Rotors:



I hope everyone got their RED fix..... i sure did!!

Rear Spoiler Insert, Rear Badge....
I quickly photoshopped the picture on the left, my build is the picture on the right.... i think the painted spoiler insert will go nicely with the painted badge. Truth is, you can do no wrong here... it's a 993 Speedster!!!

Those rear calipers are not from a 993.

Here is my caliper rebuild thread.
