Engine Lid Emblem Poll

I would like everyones option.

I have a 2002 C4 cab, see the mods below. However I am having a C4s (turbo LOOK) rear bumper installed on my narrow body car and the brakes will be painted red with the porsche logo in white.

I also see that there are some people that refer to deputydog's cab (sweet car and he did a great job on the mods) as a wannabe Turbo and my car is extremely similiar. I don't want to be a wannabe turbo, just a C4 with mods.

The car currently has the 911 emblem in chrome, I was thinking of changing the emblem to the Carrera 4 (black or silver). any thoughts???

All I can say is that adding a "4" to the side skirts will look really tacky...definitely not something for a Porsche.

I would agree with the 4 on the side as being tacky, what about just changing the license tag frame to incorporate Carrera 4. I don;t know what I was thinking.

Some people (even w/Turbos) choose to put their model designation 'elsewhere'.

Robert,

Lets make sure that everyone knows that Andrew (Deputydog) and I are good friends and that when I post about his "wannabe cab" it is all in jest as he always posts about my 20" bling bling wheels.... Nothing else is meant by it. Andrew's car is awesome.... (Don't read this Dog, Your car really is a "wannabe" )

Black would be my choice...

Carrera 4 in black would contrast nicely against the yellow, silver would look a little washed out. If you has a black car I would say to go with the silver instead of black.

Gary,
Are you the one that wrote Turbo Wannabe on his paperwork in the windshield in Orlando at the Cars for the Cure???

Maybe I only should add a license tag frame with Carrera 4 and leave the chrome 911 on the trunck lid.

Do you know where I can purschase a license tag frame with Carrera 4. I can't find one anywhere. 4s but not just a 4

Re: Engine Lid Emblem Poll

Don't worry about it Robert. No one will think of your car as a "turbo wannabe". They'd probalby think of it as more like a "one-off from the factory GT2 Cab wannabe"

by the way, who's bumper are you using? i'd stay away from the nr one. take a look at anziano's if you haven't already bought one. took a lot of prep, but one of the better replicas as the side slats look more factory than nr's.
