"PORSCHE" Decal On Windstop
What are you collective thoughts on those PORSCHE decals that be purchased (on eBay etc.) and installed on the windstop? I'm thinking of getting one - just wondering if anyone has had a bad experience with them (fading, can't ever get it off, block the already difficult view backing up, etc).
They are about 8 inches long and the lettering is about 1 inch high. Nothing too goofy. You can get colors but I would just get white or silver, similar to the small lettering on the glass back window.
Trivial post I know, but I'm in withdrawal here in the Northeast, there's only so many times you can polish the wheels you know! The Box is just a fair weather car for me.

I know a few of us, including myself, have purchased the sticker from seller 'rjcalnan', no affiliation. High quality sticker from a seller with good feedback and he sends two, which is nice, because the potential for messing up the first attempt is high. Got mine two years ago (silver) and still perfect. "No" to your specific questions, but I haven't tried to remove it.

Hi,
I bought this one a few weeks ago:
 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110073718923&rd=1 (no affiliation)
I love it: It looks like it was etched into the plexiglass. It went on easy.
The good thing is: the "Porsche" letters are below what you see in your rear view mirror. So the only thing in the mirror is the Porsche logo, and I hardly notice it.
So no obstruction of view and good quality

I personally prefer "exterior matching" color or etched glass one.

I bought the caliper decals from rjcalnan and since he includes extras, I had a few left over when the caliper painting was done. I put one at the bottom of the windstop, not as large as the etched glass decals, but I think it looks nice. I don't have a pic of the windstop, but here's one on the caliper.
