Default Journal: SignatureJames 2011 Porsche 911 GT3

Just wanted to formally introduce myself. Been a long time lurker, always living and dreaming to someday join the illustrious ownership of the GT3. Had a few friends own them prior. They all sold it but I just had to patiently wait for my turn to come. I guess better late than never. Doing a business involving automobile repairs, I dreamed that I would have all the access, tools and resources to play with my passion. But in reality, business first, passion on the back burner. But 2016, I decided to be a little selfish so I wanted to give my GT3 a little personal flair. Anyhow, enough of my boring rants, I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Unique touch on the 918 caliper color.
Enjoy.

Must really be nice to have the shop and tools and expertise to make your car unique. As our GT3 is also white, it really is my favorite color on these cars, tastefully set off with complementary accents.

Drive and enjoy, then repeat....

All the best....

Looks good.

Question, is the porsche logo silk screen, special material or standard vinyl? Did you clear over the top of it?

OE way: stencil or silk screen over and clear so its 1 surface level

My Way: I wanted a little more depth so I opted to sand blast, epoxy primer, base coat, vinyl decal and 2 coats of clear coat. I also tetered between base coat, clear coat, vinyl apply and another clear coat but I felt it would raise the letters TOO much for my personal taste
