Here it is nudged up a bit. I figure that is what you are looking for? Maybe?

Up
It looks so lonely there
without the Porsche

I think if one would go this way they would need a bigger GT 4 badge ?

I beat you to it and my second post shows it moved up. Is that high enough? too high? I can shift it pixel by pixel at this point.

[/QUOTE

Yes that is it
Still looks a little lonely
Maybe that's because I have longed for the rear end for what felt like eternity looking at it every night
Seeing it one way, and now another, and it just doesn't look right ?
Edit maybe because there is no pate on the car too ?
Also thanks very much for doing this !!

Yeah it looks a little small to me. I'm wondering of the lack of plate makes it seem even more to be swimming in a sea of white.

Maybe with a plate it would look more appropriate?

Sounds good. Mine has the dealer plate and frame right now so that could give you a decent sense. Although the dealer plate is black. Of course I could mock up a white CA plate in there, which just seems silly. But I could do it. lol.

BTW that was another thought
Removing that plate surround
I know I read a post on that on this board I think the guy said you have to remove the bumper to get to the screws that hold that licence plate surround on and then you have to fill the holes that were made when they screwed that orig plate surround on
And then of course paint .. I am surprised the licence plate wouldn't hide the holes ??

I think it needs to be up - where the PORSCHE normally is on the base Cayman/Boxster

You could use stickers like the RS but make them larger. 3 sizes lager to full the void should do.

I said the only reason why I might consider it, is because it will be getting the PORSCHE decal on the sides It will be like a Porsche billboard
I take it your installer has not seen a GT3 for quite some time.

That doesn't look right. Needs to move 'up'.

Location in post 16 is about right.

I like it moved up. Would be nice if it was a bit bigger.

Here it is with a hacked in Plate. It actually does improve the balance somewhat. GT4 is still too small in my opinion.

My wife might be right in keeping the PORSCHE.
