I agree, but it closely mimics the 991 rear-ends.

Which are...kinda busy.

I added a little retro flair with a "ghost" style decal. It's simply a matte black decal on a glossy black car so it appears in different light.

Decals are cool. Why are the exhaust outlets so low though?

Those who would fail to recognize the iconic 911, would also fail at recognizing the crest.

Pipes dump from the cat and are parallel to the ground.

That's cool. Wonder how to do it on a white car.

A light, matte gray might look nice and different on a white 911.

I also agree less is more, no extra lettering needed on all 911.

Took this while I was wrapping the bumper. Will see if I can take one with it all put back together. Added a 911 badge, reused the Carrera 4 Badges and used plastidip.

A simple "Carrera" on my 996 and an even simpler "911" on my 997. Less is more IMHO. Our cars have great asses...I don't like to junk them up...

They do offer Matte White decals among a variety of other colors. Pic below is exactly what I ordered. Yes it's for early 911s but it fits fine with a couple inches overlap that you can trim off the sides. I also added the classic Carrera S decal (I just cut off the R).
