Cheesy or not?
 
Hey guys, noticed that this fella put on a PORSCHE lettering emblem on the rear decklid of his 996 Cab. What do you guys think of the look? Is it cheesy?

I kinda like it. Sells for like $100 bucks tho.

I don't care for the wing, but think the lettering looks pretty good...reminiscent of the older days.

LOVE the lettering.

The wing is a design mistake.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the wing either, but that lettering is pretty nice. My car's debadged because I got tired of always having the letters come loose when wiping down the car after car washes, but may need to get that lettering.

Nice lettering, bad wing

It works on the 911 and I like the lettering, but I don't think it would that great on the back of a Boxster. I prefer a Porsche spoiler sticker or windstop decal and a Boxster or 986 decklid logo. Just my opinion. :cheers:

Yeah... I like the chrome version available from this site, but it's a bit pricey. Will wait to see if Porsche charges less for the lettering that they put on the Panamera.

I'm not sure it would look good on the Boxster either. Can someone do a photochop? :D

I like the lettering, hate the wing.

Porsche Lettering
 
I think it would be neat if you could get it in the same color as the car.

silverboxter 05-12-2009 06:26 PM

thumbs up on the lettering.

JAAY 05-12-2009 06:27 PM

Thumbs down on the lettering.

Apparently, after exchanging messages with Suncoast Porsche, they say the Dutch Anniversary edition 911 actually came standard with the PORSCHE lettering as you see below, and they will try to offer the lettering that comes standard on the Panamera once it is available for order.

personally I kind of like but to each their own, it just comes down to personal taste, good news is that if you do do it, it won't look ricey imo

Meh. Not a fan.

I always strive to have as little advertising or clutter on the back of my car as possible. In fact, if Porsches came like this from the factory, you'd find a ton of threads on how to properly remove that excess badging.

I de-badge all my cars. Brazilian baby! Less is more.

FYI, on the originator of "less is more", my design teacher was in love with this guy..

I LIKE the letters. Anybody know what they are off of? Panamera? Cayene? Is this a kit and are they adhesive. Dont want any drilling. Thanks guys
