Since the new 991 came out, I liked the way the wording "Porsche 911 Turbo/Carrera/Etc." made the car look from the back....
Thus, I decided to eliminate the " Turbo" word on my 997.2 TT and add: Porsche 911 Turbo..
Here a photo.


Enjoy.!

 

The new cars have too much on the rear for me.

 

I realize it's personal taste but making a 997 TT look like a 991 is a bad idea. It falls into poser territory.

 

I did that to my Cayenne, Removed the "Cayenne" and put "Porsche" like the newer ones. It looks good. Looking foreward to seeing it on your car. I don't think that's a poser move at all, just a different look.

 

Looks good! Enjoy

Interesting upgrade. Often wonder how easy it is to remove old turbo. Some say just use hair dryer with dental floss. Then too, if sun has faded enough on darker colors to show some margin from exposed area adjacent to non-exposed. My buddy exchanged turbo S for turbo on his '12...adds a lot to car and gets him an 'S' with a manual. A chip and exhaust gave him the added HP.

 

I am in for pics - I'd like to see it on a 997. I enjoy detailing so adding more places for water to get trapped and more details to have to wax and clean would annoy me personally, but I am OCD that way.

This is what i would say falls in line with a poser as mentioned above - putting "Turbo S" on a non Turbo S 911.

 

Done!..
To me , it looks very good...
No poser here as MY car is a Porsche.. 911 Turbo...
Merry Xmas to all!

 

Where did you get the emblems?

 

Ebay.:-)..
But after ordering on Ebay... I noted that Suncoast also has them.. and cheaper...

The poor fellow had no choice, he wanted an "S" with a pure-manual 6-speed. Porsche refused to offer option on new "S". Still refuses. He tried the cleaner approach, i.e., getting a manual box installed and dumping the pdk, but tech said 'forget that.' Maybe trans-flip would have appeased poser-sheriff's critical eye, who knows. Merry Christmas!!!

 

"Poser"??? Really?...Who uses a term like that anyway? I did not know we had any teeny boppers on this forum.....

Badges look good OP...Enjoy.....

To each his own, it looks nice and the OP is not misrepresenting the make/model of his car! Only a fraction of the general population can discern the 997 vs. 991 body style and make the connection to the lettering on the rear! I like it, nicely done.

To the guy badging an "S" on a non-turbo S, no bueno... (IMHO)

 

No question re-badging a car something which it is not is a no-no in my book. Poser is one word many use. It is akin to walking around with a fake Rolex.

Check out this loser.

 

It's called pretending to be something you're not. The same goes for those that put M badges on non M BMW cars and GT badges on non GT mustangs and on and on... It's dumb no matter how you slice it.

The 911 Turbo doesn't need an S on it to change the car... Bumping the HP and modifying the car to get that type of power is great but regardless what is done, it will never be an S, so why pretend it is... To each their own though, if it makes him happy, that is all that matters.

OP car rebadging looks nice! Would look nice with just the porsche lettering as well if you ever want to switch things up in the future!
