Let me know measurements and I can cut one for you at the shop, I've got the file already created from previous cars where it was done on the top if it's not curved, just would need to scale it.

My GT3 had the orange side script, mirrors, roll bar and center console painted orange when I got it in '13. So I had the wheels powder coated the same.

Now I going to have the wing painted orange (kinda of a sickness in need of a 12-step program) and feel that the black PORSCHE script would be (in)appropriate.

Hell, its not going sand out anymore than already does - ;>)

Thanks. Mine is 29" wide. Letters are 2.5" tall. I like the dimensions. Only thing I would do differently is mount it a little further back

Lot more than the fence that bothers me about this house. It's a rental until my new home is done with construction.

Neither, actually. acromann.com. Cheap decal. Wanted to see how it looked. If the quality was terrible, I'd have a local shop do a better one. But this one is pretty good. Just need to let it sit in the sun to get some of the air bubbles out.

I've always been a fan of stickers since I was a kid. I love race cars so how could I not love decals, emblems & stickers!!

I vote to keep it

But I also agree with this.... (hence why my non-RS has no stickers)

I’m the exact opposite, I remove all stickers from all my cars and yet, I like this one.

Looks good.

Lol,... funny,... I am a fan of graphics & decals,... yet my car has none.

.... i enjoy & appreciate the individuality that people put on their cars. its their thumbprint.

........ speaking of your thumbprint,... have you guys heard that Porsche, as a $8,100 option, will now put your fingerprint on your front bonnet?

maybe for my next car I'll take that option, and add in my social security & bank acct numbers too.....

Wow Steve... brings to mind the saying, "...just because you can, doesn't mean you should"

Ed, you have a beautiful RS. That's a pretty prominent decal, but it's just a decal. Don't overthink it. If you don't hate it, leave it on for a month or so so you can get used to it being there, and then decide if you want it to stick around. in the end yours is the most important opinion.

Speaking of decals, I took off my GT3 badge to do a paint correction and it hasn't found it's way back on. Still undecided.... I'm like Switzerland when it comes to decals. I'm friends w/ all configs! But this is going to far imo:
