Definitely higher would look better, maybe on the duck offset to the right in black reflective. This way it is more sutble but at night it will show up when a head light in on it.

I think the placement is perfect on the lid. The composition is better with it lower because of the script length.

I do like DRACO's idea as well.

I would do it in the Porsche script to look more factory.

+1 and I like DRACOs idea..

Smaller, offset on deck or tail, more factory correct font... or just as is. It is cool and fun either way.

I like the idea! What's the German word for "lightweight" or something similar?

Shouldn't matter too much about the extra weight of the sticker, it is after all a lightweight sticker.
