I would highly suggest spacing them away from the wall using stacked magnets like others have. I went four magnets deep. They were easy to install, and they supplied a stencil. Which was needed since the letters I bought are the large ones and they are nine feet wide. I first taped the stencil up then screwed washers into the wall, making sure the washers were countersunk. The magnets were held to the letters with 3M VHB which you can buy on Amazon. Though some people glue them.

Got them here https://www.customgaragedecor.com/porsche-store

Magnets with VHB https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Magnets use four per letter, then I went four deep to space out https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Upscale Audio,
I am at the end of redoing my garage and would like to install the Porsche letters on my wall like you did. I know this goes back a couple of years
but could you tell me where you purchased them from. Thanks Greg

He bought them here; https://www.customgaragedecor.com/

A few years ago Porsche woke up and chose violence by sending C&Ds to anyone who used the Porsche name, TM and brand on any item not licensed by Porsche. The PORSCHE sign is no longer available from this vendor. I would guess they fell under this C&D list too.
You can find these signs on Etsy and 3P Amazon fly-by-night sellers.

Thanks NWGTS, I figured that was probably the case because I didn't see them on the site anymore. I will have to go another route to have them made.

Thanks again Greg

Most of these guys that were selling them still do. They just don't advertise it. Reach out and ask.

Thank Kevin, I did e-mail them a couple of times but have not heard back yet. I have been trying to find a phone number for them but no luck.

I'm sure you can say "I need or would like to purchase these particular letters".
What I find ironic, and I can "kinda" see where Porsche is coming from, I when we do sh$t like this, its just advertising for the brand.....

That blows. There are plenty of people working with that material on Etsy and Ebay. Good luck to you.

These guys showed up in my search on Etsy but there's others. Etsy link

Some of my best stuff came from Etsy. Did I show you guys my Alfa Romeo engine table?

Hey there,
We do have the Porsche letters in stock again.... either in the
6 foot wide for $109.99
Or
in the
9 foot wide for $149.99

Both include shipping (if in the 48 states) and a install wall pattern.

All we need is an email address to send you a custom paypal invoice.

Thanks,
Bill
