P O R S C H E lettering for door bottom - where to buy?

I know that several people sell this lettering and remember hearing that some are better than others. Can anyone share with me a good buying experience and a high quality product - I want to put the letters on my Tangerine '69 T coupe.
Thanks.

Bob Tilton's product is as close to the real thing as you can get. Don't settle for less. Find him on the Early 911S Registry.

PORSCHE Graphics

Look around at the various sources. The fonts and script sizes are not all the same. I bought two sets in the past from two different sources. The first set on my Carrera were found on ebay. The second set on the 912 were from Bob Tilton. I never bought any from JoeBob, but hear good things.

Here's his contact info. Looks like he either moved to Texas to open up a graphics business, or let his website expire and somebody else grabbed it. (He used to be in California...last I knew.) His first name is Mike.

Thanks.
FYI, when I looked for a set of porsche graphics there was a large range in pricing, I got prices from under $100 to $500 . I don't believe the range in price necessarily correlated with the range in quality (accuracy to originals, ease of application, how well/long they stick , UV resistance, etc. I ) would love to hear from any experts on the subject.

Bob Tilton on the Early 911S Registry is also highly regarded.

Should look very nice on Tangerine. You'll fit right in with everyone else.
