To my eye, the aesthetics look better than having the 997 Carrera and S on the back. Maybe the chrome lettering provided a more up to date look and I think the font size complements the new back end better.

Now on to the next mod...
wow nice job. what kind of glue did you use?

No glue, just the adhesive on the back of the letters.

Oh wait, one more thing, the spacing between S and C is not consistence with the rest of the letter spacing either. Ha ha ha, look great and a job well done.

Really looks fine!

Did you consider using 991 instead of 911?

Darren, it does really look good!

I was going to do something similar. I wanted to 'write' in the back Little Devil in Italian, and match the License Plate.

But it will take me awhile before I can change anything that Zuffenhausen did...

ahahahah that is Hilarious!

Although you know that if your custom license plate can be offensive in any language, they would take it away from you....at least in NY State.

That would read Volunteer Firefighter Culo!
