Default Upgraded the Cargo Emblems to Black

I wanted to change these for the longest but was scared to not have them perfectly lined up. Body shops were talking about 800-1200$ to do it.
what!?!
I found out Porsche makes these templates that sit over the hatch and it lets you place the letters perfectly.
After researching that, come to find out, those templates are 500-600$
Searching and searching, I found a guy on Etsy selling a template for $18.99
Not what I was wanting but I could make it work from there.
See attached photos.











With my new Hood Crest, these rear emblems really make it flow better.
Next change are the front bumper side markers.

The emblems already came ready to mount. With the stickers on the back.

I got halfway through the same job and then decided to leave the hatch clean. No emblems.

I know what it is.

I do think kigiing is seeing something. The P and and E look to be sitting at a higher level than the rest of the letters. The O looks like it could be clocked a c hair or lowered a c hair. None of that will matter in a week as nobody but us haters will notice. Looks great nonetheless.

It's not supposed to be a straight line. It has a very slight curve to it.
*See attached images
But thanks for the compliment!

But I think I could have slanted the P & E a tad bit more to make it flow better.
