^^^ GREAT VIDEO!!!! Thanks for sharing. Man, those two were duke'n it out hard through traffic. I couldn't believe the GT3 CUP got him back at the end of the really long straight.

Amazing and very entertaining. Good stuff.

Actually, I like it best on Djork's car. That's very well done. The 70's model would be the second best use for me.

Of course, I've never been sure these cars leave very many people behind wondering what just flew by. The name always seemed like aesthetic overkill when it was plastered across the window. Now a discrete set of chrome letters on back is more like it.

That looks great. I have been wanting to take off the CarreraS and place those letters on for a long time.

The low-keyed "911" emblem suits me & my finely-tuned '08 997.1TT just fine. A lambo revved-up on me at a stop light the other night probably thinking it was a basic C2... I smoked him! Nice retro look tho.

After the 2012 991 comes out, I'm sure you could just order the emblems that were made for the 991 and it would be perfectly spaced. I couldn't wait though haha
You did a great job with the spacing. If they are the same sized letters as for the 991, then in my opinion, your use of spacing trumps that on the 991. I just thing the badge is way too thinned out by the wide spacing on the 991. It actually might be that the font used on the 991 is smaller/thinner than yours. Looks that way, anyway.

Again, nice job!

The more I look at the new design, it just looks like the 911 doesn't look right next to the Carrera. It is like they are slightly different fonts or something. Just the "Porsche" is the best look, so I think you are on to something here!
