That looks great! I'll post a pic as soon as I have mine done. I'm thinking of using black Porsche letters on mine.

Not sure what color you're driving, but I liked the contrast of the chrome on a silver car. Also you'll note the spacing is greater from the edge of the trunk lid to allow for the new Boxster emblem later on.

My 986 is white with black accents and in line for some matte black wheels. I figured as much on the spacing. I may add the 986 letters under, undecided.

I understand blacked out would look sharp.

Hey, a good place to powder coat wheels is LA Wheel in Canoga Park. I had them do my X6 and they did quality work at a reasonable price. They're close to you and may have the same wheel that they'd swap or loan while the work in getting done.

Thanks for the info Mark. I'll be reaching out to you here and there. As I'm just getting started on my 986 I need to discover all the good local shops.
