Default In search of garage art: Porsche posters

I'm looking for nice Porsche themed posters to liven up the garage a bit. Would love to find a photo history of the 911 in particular and/or nice 997 posters. Anyone have any ideas where to look? eBay has a bunch but nothing with all the history of the 911

Do a Google search, like "Porsche poster". Lots available for sale. Might even find some graphics you could download/print yourself. Lots of good stuff available at sites like Flying Lizards, Vic Elford, Frecksauto, etc.

the "early S" board has a bunch of members into Porsche art, and Pelican Parts as well. I have gotten a few prints for free from the members there. Just a good bunch of car guys.

Thanks guys for all the very helpful suggestions, I'm sure I'll be able to find what I'm looking for. And the life size rsr is pretty nice. Is that painted on the wall?

I ordered one of these a few days ago. I have not received it yet so I cant comment on quality... but for around thirty dollars shipped I figured it was worth the risk.

What I used to do was to order the offical Porsche Calendar from the Porsche website. The calendar came with twelve (one per month) beautiful pages, each had a beautiful Porsche picture. Very beautifully done.

I then took the calendar to my local photo frame store, had them frame the calendar pages, and ta-ta they became instant art work to hang on the wall inside my house and garage.

And a tip, if we order the calendar at the end of the year (like I just did a month ago for the 2010 calendar) through some Porsche dealer websites, the calendar would be on sale (I got my 2010 calendar for $10.)

Regards,

Nice images, that guy is in Sarajevo. No wonder he is not worried about copyright and trademark infringement.
