Should I try the PORSCHE letters on the door down low to see if they look any better there? Maybe on the little wind screen between the seats facing backwards so people don't think it's a Boxster Ferrari?
Well now you are just being silly.

Timco, your vague reflection looks familiar.

Do you have a side hobby of interrupting news casts?

Can't put the lettering on the side. It'll clash with the woodgrain MACtac.

Thanks for the inspiration Timco.

The end of the 'B" broke off while I had it in the garage this weekend (probably the work of my cat). I Pulled off the rest of the 'Boxster' and found some larger letters to redo it right.

Looking at the angle and spacing, I think I really nailed it.

...and don't tell anyone, but it's not really an S. I just wanted to fool those Miata guys.

Perfect...! Now we can get Boxster stuff at Home Depot.
