First I cleaned the area with isoproponal alcohol

Pull some string across the boot lid. I used the pointy corners of the rear lights as a height guide.
Used masking tape to hold in position.

Measure and mark on the string the centre.

Take the S and position the top edge under the string, centred.

Then mark on the string 40mm either side of the left/right side of the S.

Place next letters.

Basically the gap between letters I used was 40mm.


It looks cleaner if you remove the 'Boxster' badge - but I am lazy and don't mind the look with it left on.

Was a very easy job, and took less than 10 minutes.
I followed your instructions and I really like the results.

It took me approximately 30 minutes start to finish because I was so nervous about balance and alignment that I measured multiple times.

I am debating whether or not to put the Boxster badge on again, but this is fine for now.

Note: The arc of the letters in the photos looks a little more pronounced than it is in actuality.
