Thanks for the compliment! I think it looks like a void without it. I hadn't seen one a 997, so I was worried it would look tacky, but it gives the car more of a race look. It would be cool if Suncoast had a feature to apply each decal color on each car color. Like another post mentioned someone with the skills and time to play around with Photo Shop could probably do it in a snap. Look at the now and before pics:

I was driving by the local dealership over the weekend and at least two of the cars in the showroom window had these emblems on them. Looks retro.

That's cool! I hadn't seen them on a 997 before. Which dealership? It would be interesting to see them as they are likely different color combos.

I was just driving on the highway talking on a conference call and a guy in a black Audi RS rolled down his window multiple times trying to tell me something. I thought something was wrong, but he gave me a thumbs up. I think he was commenting on the emblem?

This was at Porsche of Hawaii. I know for sure they had them on a Cayman but not sure about 911s as I was only driving past.

I think it looks good on your Guards Red and the Peridot Cayman, but don't think I could pull it off on Atlas Grey.

Looks Great. I wonder how it would look on a 997 silver convertible with black top?

I think that orange stripe was a bold move and it totally transforms the look of your car it looks great and sporty!
