I've got lettering on mine. I wasn't so sure about it at first, but it's grown on me considerably. For better or for worse, I feel like the car gets more attention now too.

I can understand you buying them because you like them, but getting more attention may not be a strong argument for having them since much of the attention could be negative. For example there was 997S with a stripe down the hood that was parked on the company's parking lot. It too got a lot of attention, but judging from conversations I had with friends, almost all of it was negative.
CODE, where did you get them and was there a specific size you ordered? I saw one site and there were different size options
They came from tiregraficx.com, and are the permanent raised rubber letters. I dont remember exactly what size though, I believe 1". I'll check when I get home tonight and let you know.
I just ordered some of these from Coker for my GT4:
C'mon people. Have a little self-respect. As fast1 pointed out, the rest of us won't be laughing with you; we'll be laughing at you.
People know it's a Porsche. People know you have fancy tires on it. Let it stand on those facts without the billboards.
God forbid should people ad a touch of individuality to their cars! It's personal preference, and if people dont like it then they can go f**k themselves.

Believe me, sometimes I wish I didn't have such classic good taste so I could enjoy things like corndogs and fake tire letters. Honestly, it's a burden at times. And the responsibility! It's not like I can log in here, see these pictures and keep it to myself! Talk about irresponsible. Twenty-four months from now when the tire-letter guys look back at photos of these things and slap their foreheads in shame, do you think I could live with myself if I had stood idly by and let it go without comment?

Agree. When I'm out driving, I'm driving, not stopping to talk to folks at Cars and Colons. So if someone thinks I'm a douche, I'll never know. That said, these only look good on GT cars/exotics IMO. Look out of place on a standard Carrera.

You know what, you're right. Thanks for the PSA, and for being the voice of the entire Porsche community. We'll be sure to consult you first prior to making any decisions regarding the aesthetics of our vehicles. Perhaps you should send a letter to Pirelli as well, and inform them of the worlds discontent with non-black lettering on sports car tires. Clearly they need some guidance in that area. http://color.pirelli.com/en-ww/?
