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.

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.

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?

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!

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?
