I plan to get Porsche on the upper portion, and 911 below it.

Yours would look clean with just 911 though. Maybe black.

Yeah I was thinking matte black "PORSCHE" raised lettering from the 991 and then have the smaller "Carrera 4" decal offset bottom right of the duck tail. Kind of like like the older RSR:

Leave it blank, use original badging (Carerra?), or go full retro/backdate and do the PORSCHE decal across the lid. I like blank.

Also, if you would be willing to share, where did you get the block off plate, bumper wart delete panel? I'd love to get one. Thanks!

I agree that looks great!

Here is my car from rear but with the name of the Shop that transformed the car.

You’ve got two 3rd brake lights. I think the back looks busy enough as it is. Leave it.

What spoiler is that?

I think you need something on the back. "Carrera 4" or "Porsche" would be good. Too much blank space without badgring.

Either Porsche decal or black 911 would look just right. Love the bumperette delete...do tell!

Thanks for the comments everyone. The bumperette delete (or whatever it is called) is made out of a chunk of carbon fiber the shop had laying around. They contoured it to the sans-bumperette space affixed it somehow. The shop seems to fab up all sorts of OEM looking things. If I'm not running afoul of Rennlist rules, I can post the shop name and you can look at their stuff and other parts of this car on Instagram. I can take some closer shots of the blank later, but the car is still at the paint place right now.

Point taken. I wonder if this would work on a 996:

I used a smoked LED to make extra brake light less obvious.

There is a 996 specific block off/blank for the under window brake light. Part # 996.504.980.00.


















I initially had mine installed but I figured with all the morons playing with their phones, I might as well use everything available.
