Have you chopped off the T, E, or S on your decklid badge so that it just says "911"?

Thanks, Mike!

OR you could just shop the 2 tiny horizontal bars on each side of the T, which would look like 911I, new type like Interstellar, Intermediate, IN, Incredible etc.

Well, of course you all have not seen the rest of the car and you certainly don't know my vision for it. Naturally, before I asked the question it occurred to me that I could put the 911T badge on there!

I don't mean to offend anyone, but this car is already a hot rod and I intend to make it even more so as time goes on. Doing things "correctly" is not really the goal here. The prior owner hung "S" rocker trim and bumpers on there, put on 7" wheels, mounted factory sports seats, added the side stripe, changed the steering wheel, put Cibie's on the front, and changed the H4 lenses to yellow while changing the surrounds to Euro-style. I don't know how much of this I am keeping, but I do know that in keeping with the hot rodding flavor of this build, the "911" badge on its own is a touch of mine that will please me!



Has anyone ever made the modification that I described in the original post? If so, let me know how it went.

Thanks,
Jim

So you have a "hot rod" 911T!

What's the issue with that? Are you ashamed to be seen driving a lowly 911T? Does driving the "entry level" 911 reflect on your credibility, legitimacy as an enthusiast...your manhood??!!

We all know a Miata can outrun a stock '69 2.0 911T......However...

My lowly '69 911T won the overall points competition with it's original owners at the '73 Monterey Porsche Parade, and after I purchased it from them I made a few mechanical modifications not visible to the naked eye....bigger torsion bars, alloy calipers, short gears (AFJQV), and the engine is now 2.7 producing 220 dyno verified hp at 6800 rpm....visually it's a stock, correct '69 911T, save a steel S front spoiler bumper.

My '69 911T won the 2011 R Gruppe GT Award, and it wears it's original 911T emblem proudly.

I understand your point, put it is still a T. My car has 7s all around, R seats, came with S trim rockers, it has a VDM 380 wheel, and it has a 2.7 liter engine (with 2.7 badge on the engine lid...came like that). However, I would never change the designation


Be a proud T owner...that are great cars.

Maybe? Vinyl can always be removed

You could always just eliminate any 911 emblem from the engine lid, consistent with hot rod tradition of cleaning the hood and trunk surfaces of emblems. Years ago I removed the 911S and PORSCHE emblems from the lid of my car. It had nothing to do with hiding the designation, but more about cleaning up the surfaces of the car. Like removing rocker trim etc. I'm considering doing this very thing to a new purchase.

Or just buy a deck emblem from a '74 911...just a thought...

911T and 2,7 ----hmhm

Perhaps TLTR, but there are a lot of opinions expressed here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...-fellas-9.html
I'm not about to do it, but a 356D badge on a 912 is an interesting idea.
