Thanks Dell.

I haven't visited Loren's site in a while, great technical information over there.

Cheers,

Come one, come all.

Imagine, for less than $100 you can go from a C2 Carrera to a GT3TurboGTRS! Where else can you get that sort of upgrade for so little?

We got 'em...all you want.

That's because when people get the sticker they take the numbers of one by one... 9, 1, 1 and try to place them back together.. that's *not* how to do it... it comes on rectangular sheet and you remove the *bottom* of the sheet to reveal the sticky part of the numbers.... then using proper placement of the rectangle sheet that contains the 911 you just stick it on... press and take off the outer edge and voila the 911 are in perfect place...
using the rectangle as a guide it is easy to get it perfect because all you have to do is adjust for positioning of the whole 911 vs individuals numbers...

DO NOT REMOVE THE NUMBERS AND TRY TO PLACE INDIVIDUALLY... if you do you've just botched the spacing.

Suggest a search. Someone asked this before either on 996 or 997 forum. Answer included a factory diagram.

I like it...a lot. Looks a he11uva lot better than the stock badge, imo. Even my wife, who knows about these things, agrees it looks right.

In removing the Carrera script, the paint underneath is bound to be a different shade of the car's overall color (i.e., not faded). As i think about it, this removal would give me the chance to still display the Carrera name in a more subtle fashion, and wax over it without the problems of waxing around and between raised lettering. What do you guys think?

Why put anyting at all? For the person that cannot tell it is a 911, then they should be stoned...I debage everything I own...



I think the back of a 911 looks better without any sort of "label"...

It'll stop people from calling it a camaerra.

Cool

Mine is an '02. I placed the "911" where the "Carrera" exactly used to be.
