Adding PORSCHE on trunk over Boxster?
 
Bought a cheap set from eBay. Got it all laid out and snapped a pic but really am not sure I like the look.

LMAO those look classy... now you can match the script on the boxsters trunk lid to your rural mailbox :D

Gotta get the alignment right

Giller 04-27-2015 07:14 AM

Attach them with a little duct tape and they will be BEAUTY!

Needs a 1980's paint splatter effect in neon colors.

Use a string, but don't allow it to come into contact with the rotor lip.

SJEFFB986 04-27-2015 07:35 AM

I think the letters are too small.

thstone 04-27-2015 09:01 AM

Not sure if I like the name on the trunk, but if you are going to do it, have you thought about changing the lettering to standard PORSCHE font?

Duezzer 04-27-2015 09:48 AM

OMG that is beautiful. Maybe some pin striping around it too!!!!!

Timco 04-27-2015 09:52 AM

Ad said OEM.....:/

particlewave 04-27-2015 10:01 AM

Do they come in green?! :eek:

Run 04-27-2015 10:08 AM

Thats way to classy for a Porsche would look better on a pinto or a Yugo. :eek:

Rob175 04-27-2015 10:39 AM

Don't waste your money...do what I did....used a magic marker. Worked great!

Luckyed 04-27-2015 11:18 AM

It needs flames on either side.....

Blackcloud 04-27-2015 11:25 AM

Just stand back a few feet and use some spray paint.:dance

Santafe 04-27-2015 11:38 AM

Great idea!, if I had two more letters I could rearrange them and stick them on the trunk of my wifeys beat up old 2.5 ...HORSE C_ _P. :)

Bobiam 04-27-2015 12:15 PM

GREAT comments. You were just kidding, right???

Retroman1969 04-27-2015 12:16 PM

There's a "you might be a redneck" joke in there somewhere.
It would look best with peeling purple window tint and a windshield banner that says Make You Want It!

BoxsterSteve 04-27-2015 12:56 PM

Not quite, as nobody has mentioned the requisite potato gun yet. Don't worry, I'll bring mine!

I've made a sweet potato gun! It had a big, 3" diameter chamber with a twist sparker from an old Coleman camp stove / light. I never laughed so hard as the potato screamed out of sight entirely.

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.

Hey - if Stevie Ray Vaughan can do it to his Fender, you can do it to your decklid! :D

Timco 04-27-2015 02:24 PM

I really should have ordered the gold, italicized version that is on metal.....

BIGJake111 04-27-2015 02:58 PM

Timco, your vague reflection looks familiar. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04...fd46e8a196.jpg

Do you have a side hobby of interrupting news casts?

I think I went to school with that guy. Always doing something to kitty cats, or something...

Mark_T 04-27-2015 07:39 PM

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

OklahomaBoxster 04-28-2015 06:07 AM

Actually did mine, $140 for everything but I got a $30 discounthttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1430230010.jpg

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. :cool:

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