Like the way it looks on your car.
I like your idea - though we may be the only ones to notice the badge, dials, and calipers match! Are you thinking about keeping the "Carrera" or deleting it as well? Did you go aftermarket on the caliper color or do you have PCCB?

I allready deleted PORSCHE,
It only reads 911 CARRERA S
Yes I have PCCB with the wheels painted titanium silver, I also forgot to mention my car has full leather and the yellow stitching on the dash and on the upper part of the doors.

Plasti-dipped a while ago. Through several car washes and a thousand plus miles:

I tend to like it more than the stock chrome. Previously, I have only seen it in Europe on the 991 GT3s; a few times on Carrera White 991s, but haven't seen it with a gloss, non-metallic black. Personally, I like it (which is a good thing, since it would cost a few hundred to order new pieces and go back to chrome) but I'm interested to hear other member's opinions. I have more pictures that I need to upload but here is a taste
I like it! Well done.

Yessir - not a problem. Just cover up around the work space, the extra peels right off. Amazing stuff. Be careful of plugged spray head - always test off-site with a puff or two on something disposable, then go to the car with the spray working properly and the dispersal coverage you intend. I put 3-4 coats on my emblem with the recommended time interval between coats (the can has all instructions).

Thanks a lot, was thinking the exact same about yours! Let us know how the headlight washers turn out, that would be awesome to see.
