take existing measurements. and your right re the top/bottom negative spacing. if the badging is too high or too low it will not look like an oem-dealer quality job... and simply will look off, especially on a nice car.

i put all my specs here, the measurements will be off, but the process itself should be similar.

Ric-ko, how do you ensure the tape is curve along the contour of 911 body? That is the part i am quite confortable with.....

I had the 911 Carerra S badge removed when I bought my 18 month old 991.2. In the sunlight you could still see the imprint or residue from the letters. Suspect they could have paint corrected better but I had them replace it with new badging the same at their cost. Albeit it came in 3 strip parts (911 + Carrera + S) but they didn't use a template cos it was just visible where the letters had been.

Fuggit...appreciate this post, and noticed you are local to me. Would you be open to helping me through this on my C4S?

Kudos to this thread, I had mine done also according to OP insturctions, dimensions wise etc. I thank you for all that nice OCD work you have done for laying out the procedures.
