Thanks. Yes I agree now but I have a head made of cement. ��
Ill put my 986 numbers back tomorrow and my new 718 taillights are shipped so that will liven it up a bit.

Where did you end up getting the 718 tail lights from?
I think you should look at getting the Rear Spoiler Trim Nameplate to make it match the 718 even more. Not sure how to mount it, but I'm sure you could figure it out.

I ended up ordering from Extreme Mtr cars. They are coming faster than I expected. They told me a couple weeks but tracking says Aug 1st.
That treatment on the red one really looks sharp. I may look into something like that. Thanks for the pics.

This is a pic of a member of one of the Facebook forums. I think he hit it right on the head with his adaptation. Not a photoshop. One of the sharpest 986s Ive seen.

Lightly, 3000, wet sanded and buffed. Really happy with this job. I need to sand more to get some dust out but I couldn't deal with sanding through it so soon. Numbers are just laying there. Figuring out where I want them and getting the straight will take me hours.

I would prefer the name PORSCHE on the back....Let the people know what it is. I have the PORSCHE template with the proper curve is interested....Here's what mine looks like. Purchased the Letters which are the same as the Panamera and painted them the same color and the Boxster S emblem.....Had a lot of comments on the site.

Did you not read my post? I said I wasn't sure how it could be mounted, but JBauer could probably figure it out.

That factory part is only $200 but the only one I can find has a matte black logo. If it was chrome I might gamble to see if it could be adapted to a 986 🤔
Would look cool if so.

I know where you can get the chrome version for $116. Remove the **** from the following link.
