Kenbo1000 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hi. l know it’s a long shot but does anyone have a lettering template I could borrow or even buy. Got the letters but just not sure where they go on a 987.2 Boxster. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radish Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 No template but there is a You Tube video of how lay out the letters although I cannot recall if it was for a 987 or 981. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenbo1000 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks. Seen all the YouTube vids and if it the one I think you mean, he just does a straight line across the boot. I think it needs a slight curve to be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a credit card as a spacer from the edge of the boot lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t last for ever. I think they are only designed to be used once or twice. Also I think I might have located one thanks to Mick on here.

Pinewood Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 The lettering looks a little to close together on the posts above. This is how PORSCHE looks with stencil spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red rocket Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Not the best pic but this is using a template cut up to allow the letters to be curved per my previous post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa utah Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 it definitely should be straight as far as I’m concerned. Following the line of the boot trailing edge looks all kind of weird to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el 3.2S Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Got to be curved, following the boot lid line. I used the lollipop stick method to space the letters and get the same distance up from the bootlid. Even spelt it right too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
