Rockin a new look on the tailgate
So after a few weeks being debadged, I thought I'd try out the Panamera Porsche letters, part#970 559 235 01. Ordered from Sunset Porsche.
The letters come in a curved layout, so you have to reposition all the letters. That was sorta a pain in the a$$ and took some time. Make a spacer out of thin cardboard to evenly space the letters apart from each other.
Once aligned, I used blue masking tape on top of the letters to keep them together as I positioned them on the tailgate.
Measured left to right, top to bottom several times (at least 10x)...then removed the paper backing and applied the letters.
Here's out it turned out.

I'ts EXACTLY what I've been wanting to do. matter of fact I started a thread several days ago discussing this very thing. Was it incredibly difficult to do?

That does look good.
I wonder if the new Cayenne lettering will be easier to work with...

Just take your time aligning the letters and measuring several times before applying...If I can do it you can too!
They didn't have the new Cayenne badge when I was ordering so that's why I went with the Panamera one...if the letters where already straight and spaced out, that would make it A LOT easier.
I think the letters were less than $30

Looks good.
I see you have Titanium edition, have you thought about painting those letters in titanium color? Well might be too late to do it now.

Would love to see someone try to paint the letters...if it looks good, I could always remove these and put a new set on
