Davel is infamous around these parts
I use to de-badge all my cars and some bmw motorcycles, ended up with quite of collection of numbers and letters from the different cars i owned , then decided that i liked the letters and numbers on the back, but never been a fan of all the script Porsche is now putting on the cars (2 lines worth). I like the single line of PORSCHE or 911 or Carrera, or if your lucky TURBO. I even had one issue with a trade that they accused me that the car had been repainted in the rear and that's why the badging was removed (long before carfax and other sites), luckily i had the badging to prove otherwise...

did you just remove the bottom line? i wondered if that would make sense or on cars that just say 'porsche' it is placed lower...

my car had the factory "911 carrera s" delete option where the "PORSCHE" emblem was positioned lower. the interesting thing is dealers have the template for the 2 line emblem but not for the "PORSCHE" emblem alone. to get the "PORSCHE" emblem by itself in the factory position is impossible as they come in individual letters and they'll just come out crooked without some sort of template.

you're right. i had no badge for a few weeks now and it feels like a big empty space. I'm going to have the paragraph on the back it's factory so i can't go wrong.

It looks naked without the paragraph. In the bodyshop industry it looks like your car was wrecked and you saved money by using non OEM parts.
Porsche fans know better, but it just looks like you bought a Certifit brand bumper to me if I didn't know any better.
However it is intriguing to not advertise how much you spent on it and keep people guessing.

I ditched the silver paragraph and just went with black 911.

Not to hijack this thread but could someone who has the "full badge option" provide me with the measurement for "A" on the photo below. My Carrera S only came with the P O R S C H E letters and I'm wanting to add the 911 Carrera S and would greatly appreciate the info!

Thanks Porsche Crazy. I couldn't help but notice on your signature photo that your's only says 911. I'm wondering if it would be different if it says 911 Carrera S? If there's anyone else who has the factory "911 Carrera S" and wouldn't mind checking too I would be grateful!

Could someone else please confirm if theirs is also 2"? I'd really like to install them this weekend but would feel better if someone else would mind checking theirs as well.
