Still contemplating a black 911 badge and black ceramic coated exhaust tips to pick up with the Fuchs.
Consider doing the third brake light delete when doing a ducktail, the part is about £200 and can be bought from Porsche direct.
I like the look of your stripe with the Meteor Gray paint color. What color is that stripe? Looks like a matte finish.
One thought with your badging (as an alternative to black) would be a brushed nickel finish - which may tie in with the brushed finish of your wheel rims.
I worked with Highgate House who are the guys that supply racing and other decals to Porsche GB, they sent me about 30 samples of different greys which really helped picking the exact shade I wanted.
The Sport Classic stripes are wider than the Turbo exclusive series stripes which is what some compare them to.
The total width (edge to edge) of the stripes is 38 cm; I.e. 17.5 cm each with a 3 cm gap between the stripes. This is as measured on a genuine Sport Classic. Also the curved edges are different and are cut to match the radius of the 997 bonnet up front and is mirrored on the back.
Some great options here. I just placed an order for a grey "Carrera 3.6" decal which I may or may not use. If I do use it, I'm still undecided if I'll put it in the OEM emblem location or in the lower right of the ducktail kick up like the 993 above. If I don't use it, it was only a few bucks.
One thing I've noticed from all these pics is that the Getty ducktail seems to fit pretty well! The only one that looks a little off is the black 997.2 from NY in one of the above posts. All of the others look to have the same shut line consistency as the OEM Sport Classic.
Where did you order the decal?
I'm thinking of doing the same with my ducktail 997s.
This is the best execution of the negative space PORSCHE decal I have seen on a 997 ducktail. The sizing and placement looks perfect. On most others I have seen, the font is too large and the placement just looks off. Fair play to RPMTechnik on this one. Just needs the blank turbo panel to delete the redundant third brake light and it would be perfection.
