Okay, I give up!
 

I am trying to find a correct larger "Carrera" decklid emblem for '84-'89 Carreras. So far, I've only found the smaller, later version--not acceptable.

I would be truly grateful for any leads.

John, based on previous threads, not my own research, I believe the older, larger "Carrera" emblem has been discontinued.

Just purchased a carrera tail from a '85. On the decklid is a fairly large 'Carrera' label. I want to remove this but cant figure out how. If I can get it off in one piece it will be for sale. (no idea how much, but reasonable)

Best way is to get a piece of dental floss and slide it under the emblem and then with a sawing motion cut thru the double sided tape.

You may need a hair dryer to loosen up the adhesive before you apply the dental floss. Did this on my 993 on a cold day.

I wonder if I still have one. I removed the Carerra emblem from an '87 lid when it went on my '73.

I really do not understand why they would discontinue something for such a popular car.

Thanks, I'll wait to hear from everybody.

Don't these things grow on trees on eBay?

Good point. Have you seen them "unsticked?" If not, is there some product by 3M that you could use?

If you buy a new one, it should come with adhesive and backing paper, like any decal. Otherwise, I'm sure you can use either the silicone blue goop or some 3M weatherstripping adhesive. There is a special adhesive Porsche sells for attaching the spoiler grill on 993's, but I think it's around $85 a jar. Go the 3M route. Check the German eBay site too.

John:

Isn't one listed in the catalogue I sent you? There should be. $35 I think.

Rick:

Isn't an engine drop required for a new script? :D

Sorry Bro, It is the smaller, newer 993 version. They have a note about it on their site.

Yeah you're right. Time to scope out evil bay.

I just picked up a larger Carrera emblem from Dave Aase not too long ago, so you might want to give him a call (909.677.5003). I also bought one last year from Dan Petchel, so you might try him as a well (609.298.2277).

So you're the one who is creating the shortage, huh Eric? ;)

SCWDP :D

Muhhahahahahaahaa :D

I do have two slightly mangled ones (the ones I replaced) if anyone wants them for tool box deco.

This group needs to stop buying the Carrera scrips and keeping them under their pillows at night...:D

Sam, FYI, we don't keep them under our pillows. We collect them and then throw them all in a bonfire at a secret meeting..........MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
