What retailer carries plasti dip? I keep reading about it... does it come off with a high pressure wash?

Was thinking of trying double sided duct tape after trimming with an exacto-knife, if I decide to move or replace since I was able to remove the PORSCHE letters without issue.

I like the 911 Carrera S script as-is, and in the spot it's in. That looks VERY good, IMHO. Chrome, too!

Home improvement stores, Lowes, Home Depot etc. It a black rubber spray paint. Do a search on here. Quite a few have sprayed the letters for examples and how to do it. I'm thinking of doing it soon to match the red/black theme of my car.

Yikes! How much for an 'S'? Use the right stuff (less than ten bucks shipped):

If I relocate them, and try to reapply the existing script, I wanted to try something that can be removed and not chance damaging the paint.

I was thinking of going in another direction. I want to take off my badging and add in its place "Chevy Volt" or "Fiat 500". You would all get the joke and as for the rest of the world, they will figure it out when they get to the Chevy or Fiat dealerships!

No risk of that if you first warm the area with a hair dryer. My recommendation is the result of using the stuff myself and like most 3M automotive products, no surprises.

I think that may get your car vandalized ... otherwise funny. Maybe install long enough for a photo.
