I wasn't sure whether I'd like it before I had it put on, but it turned out great!

I like it. I do have a question... Do you have to remove the stone guard to get the strips under or do they go on top of it?

White on red looks great...but people know it's a Porsche - not sure why more info is needed.

The decal goes on top of the stone guards. My install shop said they come off very easily when and if you want them to go.

LOL. It's a design thing more than for information. I could have used my zodiac sign instead of "Porsche", but that would have lost the nod to the car's heritage.

I understand. I was worried I wouldn't like it. My conversation on the way over to pick it up from Mike at the Man Cave, was "How hard will it be to take it off?" He had texted me a couple photos and I was worried I would think it looked tacky. Then when I saw it in person, I really liked it.

I still have supercharger. I will probably post it this week on eBay and on here for sale. It's hard to sell it because I really want it in the car. I still want a second opinion, because Tom at TPC is going solely off Luke's thoughts. They know the thing fits in the coupe and the cab, so I can't believe it can't be made to fit in the targa. I may just be being bull headed.

No, she's stock. Nothing nicer than a squeaky clean Porsche on a beautiful day!
