    Adhesive P-O-R-S-C-H-E script solutions for Early 1967 rear decklids?

    I'm finishing a car with an Aluminum Decklid that has had louvers cut in it. Installing my metal scripts is going to be challenging with the louvers. Also, the uber-thin aluminum is likely going to be stiffened with some carbon fiber to prevent the un-initiated from denting my deck when closing it. These factors will make installation of the metal script letters next to impossible with their metal studs. I know today's modern Porsches have adhesive letters rolled right on with a lint roller on the assembly line. Is there such a solution for an early car in Gold or Silver? I picture of my decklid is attached.

    Go to a body shop and buy some molding tape. I did this for studless emblems on my 356 and they never failed after 30 years.

    Thanks everyone. I have thought about the clean look, and the adhesive option let's me try out the clean first. I will look in to molding tape. The idea of cutting/trimming adhesive by and and then ligning it all up myself is where I see my skills letting me down. The new factory process of pre-spaced adhesive sticker, makes it a low skill job, more commensurate with my abilities!

    Towing is mostly going to be just a Thule gear/luggage trailer for (tent) camping trips. There are a few lightweight retro campers out there that do come under the max tow and tongue ratings for the Oris hitch. I need to finish this first. I have a hitch on my 356, and have towed the Thule gear trailer across country before. It'll be nice with more gears, HP and torque on this setup.

    scott,
    just to tell you... it is not decisive what is written on the oris tag, but what the factory is giving you for pullweights in order not to contort the chassis...

    do find attached the weight limits..

    Do NOT place carbon fiber on aluminum! the two form a low-level battery and will corrode the aluminum. It is for the same reason you should NEVER mark any aluminum structure with "lead" pencil.

    Really? Damn. I suppose that's possible, but it's been many, many years since I last study the ion charts in Chemistry. My daughter is in AP Chem now, I'll give her a real world application homework assignment to do! Thanks for the wakeup call. I wonder how risky it is with a good primer and paint layer on it. But in the world of galvanic corrosion, nothing is forever...
