It'd be cooler if it said "PONITAC."

Kudos to you (I guess) for trying something different. It's not my cup o' tea, but if you like it that's all that matters. Maybe the pictures are just poor quality. The look I'm going for, would remove the center reflector all together...or have the center reflector filled in with the working fog lamps on the ends (ala Ruf).

Even if you deleted all the Porsche lettering the car would still be recognizable with it's classic lines as a Porsche without having to go to the trouble of adding neon lights.

I'd prefer a more understated subtle look.

Cheers,

Joe

I think it would look more factory if you had the bumper and the center piece color matched with the car.

I kinda like it...however I think I would prefer to see the entire back plate lighted up and the word porsche be blacked out.

Just get one those programmable led signs and slap it on the back! That way you could have "Porsche" and anything else you wanted like, "CORNERS ARE FOR F@GS" scrolling across!

Sweetness.

I for one, thought it was great Kelly. If you like it then you should definately use it, don't worry about satisfying the guys on this BBS. I don't think its any different from the Porsche rear reflectors that started in 74. It just says it using a bit more technology.
