I got mine from Gaudin Porsche, but there are quite a few places selling the 991 emblems.

Took about 45 minutes, most of which was spent measuring. I used blue painters tape placed along the line of the spoiler shut line, and used the lower edge of it for the placement of PORSCHE. Found the center line and worked out from there. Measured the width of the E and used that measurement as the space between each letter.

X2 That is what I did and it is not difficult at all, just take your time and it is easy to do.

and I think it does...

and I de-badged mine cause it just looks cleaner and cleaning around any badging has always been a pain, especially on a dark car...one of the great things about the 911 is its size,much easier to clean than the A8 that came before,

Sorry for the brighness of the reflection, 3 inches of snow today creates a bright reflection. Like I said I copied phil, I measured 1.5 inches between letters. The 911 was kept just like it came in the package. Reused the S, new 3m tape of course.

Very nice chris, I like the red S. What color of blue is your car?

I've been toying with the idea of using the retro 911S, which I think will look great with the classic ducktail. But I'm also kinda liking the combination. I'm also waiting for the black PORSCHE lettering to use in place if the Carrera. Hard to decide.

The back of a 997 should just say either "Carrera S" or "911." All of the other extra badging just looks tacky - might as well just put a trio of oval ghetto vents on each of the front fenders and get it over with.

Just put a silver 911 badge on the back. It'll look great on white.

Now that might be an exageration. The factory puts lettering all over. Just look at "RS" porsches gt3's ect. It is not a stretch to have badges on the cars. Now I personally think there can be too much but wouldn't consider them ghetto, just Porsche's.
