Hey no prob with displaying the colours of Sweden, but a Union Jack would be better though

Hmmm blue film, now where can I get some from to test it? I am gathering it will stay on at speeds but will come of easy when time to remove?

Mr. C4

It's just a clear sticker and it comes off in 5 minutes (takes longer to install). Mine is made by OROCAL but I'm sure 3M has a similar product. The good thing with the blue film is that if the lights are turned on, the projected beam is white with a slightly blue hue.

TheSpeedDemon

One last question, do they come pre-cut to the shape of the headlights, or do you have to cut from a roll? Thanks.

Mr. C4

roll but precut are available. Think it's www.stickercity.com

I'm on the site now, thanks. Cool they have yellow too

You know, while I'm looking at the rear of your car, I'd also consider doing some new exhaust tips to fill out the rear. Having an aerokit wing with puny Carrera exhaust tips leaves a little to be desired.

This is exactly what I was thinking when I removed the badges from my M3...

It really is a personal preference. Your stance is your stance and I respect that but what if I stated that people who install Aero sides on their 996 (and the wrong generation at that) and not the full aero kit are posers who are trying to pass off their cars as being full aero but didn't want to spend the money on the whole kit?...somewhat offensive no?

As stated previously none of my cars have any model badging on them at all. I prefer the clean look and as a professional detailer I really dislike trying to work around all of the badging anyhow. I feel it's un-necessary clutter.

It's badging a car incorrectly that I don't condone...which is why I don't even feel that the "911" badge is right for this particular car as it's not a Millenium edition or 40th anniversay edition which were the only cars that came with the "911" badging on the rear.

You need to have something there otherwise, to me, it looks like a repainted car that they did not put the badges back on. Black is the obvious choice.

Just like what many Cayenne V6 owners do.

You're right. And that's exactly what the PO of my car did.

TheSpeedDemon

That was my thought too.

Point taken and I have added tip replacement to my list, any suggestions? Not keen on putting on tips that are designed specifically for certain models (i.e. I believe Turbo's have a integarted dual tip setup) as again I do not want to portray my car as something it is not.

Life is good, eh? People have time to argue all day about whether to put a plastic name thing on the back end of their iconic sports cars and in what lettering/numbering and color... how you would be perceived blah blah blah

Sober up and make a decision already, SpeedyD.

TheSpeedDemon

Ben, I didn't think it would get to such a heated discussion, which it has been sometimes, but like you said 'Life is Good' and it is this type of discussions I enjoy having.

But seriously it is constructive as it does give me an idea as what life is like owning a Porsche.

How I am perceived by others does not bother me, I mean look at my license plate "DTH MTAL", that already implies my music taste which is not everyones and in most cases not expected from someone driving a Porsche, and yes you will hear the sound of Death Metal music, along with Black Metal, Gore Metal, Doom Metal, Dark Ambient and some others. So having a badge or not, I do not believe will make too much of a difference. My brother, who owns a Cayenne Turbo, is the only one that told me straight-up the first time he saw the car to get the badge.

Yes as you know the wheels are going since they do put a certain classification about the driver/owner. Had someone drive up next to me yesterday at a stoplight, as I watched him look at the car I noticed that as soon as he saw the wheels he looked away shaking his head. In a few days that will not happen

I am nearly done drinking so soon I will make a decision

Look at TD's post #45 on this thread. He has the same exhaust tips that I have and they fill out the bumper much more fully than say, post #42. I won't say for sure about his (as one never knows), but mine are OEM.
