Either in chrome/silver, which do you like.

If you want to really confuse the issue ask if you should place the Carrera or 911 logo above or below the crease on the engine lid.

We need a poll!

I know you are kidding, but that really depends if you want to stay true to the original location of teh logo. The '99 -'01 cars had the logo higher on the deck lid and the Post face lift cars ('02 - '04) had the logo located lower on the deck lid.

Only 40th Anniversary cars are allowed to use "911". We are the last of the real 911's.

Actually, I was being slightly serious. Opinions vary on "best" badge script and location.

My vote - "911" below the fold.

Put either 911 or Carrera on your car. Put the badge in any location you want. Paint your calipers any colour you want. Purists can stick to what they want, but one mod means the car is modified and no longer original and so the 'purist' approach is thrown out the window IMHO.

I have always been amused that both my work and personal cars have 911 on the back.

Had the same question on my 02. Carefully removed the emblem, used a little steel wool to scuff it, repainted silver, looks stock and cost $5 for the paint. Used Duplicolor, very pleased with it.

Either that or they are trackmaps of all the tracks I have driven on in the order I first drove them.

Are you really going to base your decision on what the Internet people told you to do?

Oh, here are the answers to the rest of your questions:

1) Chicken for dinner tonight
2) Sell, definitely
3) Only if you can do it on Tuesday
