"And in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king"
The color is stunning and the lettering is well done.

Did the same thing. "The 991 must be growing on me. Nice curves there. But wait...."

At stop lights, I often see in the rear view mirror dads explaining to their sons the significance of the 911badge.

Keep up the good work.

Good for you... for personalizing your 911. Only thing missing is the punctuation mark. "911 Carrera!"

Amazing how you can tell what is being said in the car behind you.

But if an owner of a 911 has that all that lettering on the back of their car, and it pleases them, who am I to criticize.

Looks good... but as it has been stated, detailing will be a pain. Mine is completely de-badged in the rear. I like the clean look, it's easier to polish and wax, and there is already a nicely understated 'PORSCHE' decal on the rear window. By this time in the history of the 911, anyone who doesn't already know what one is, can certainly ask me. (It has already happened once!)

"I'm a 911 owner and proud of it"

Bigger lettering on the back next time...but then again maybe not.

By the way AJB... that is a spectacular color!! In my never-to-be-humble opinion, one of the best Porsche has ever had.
