It's strange how individual tastes vary over time. I used to regard side-script lettering decals as horrendous and pretentious, but of late I have become enamored with them, as they hark back to a nostalgic time in Porsche history. Further, I feel my car being white, is one of the few colors where sidecripts (in black) actually look good.

However, I don't relish the thought of applying something to my paint that will be difficult to remove if my tastes change again. Does anyone make a non-permanent sidescript, that can be easily applied and removed? With all the wrap technology out there, someone must have done this by now?

I approach this whole thing like I view tattoos- I personally would never put an image on my body that I would be embarrassed to hang on my wall, but maybe I'd go for a temporary tat...??

Thanks Jeff, but that thing looks dangerous in the hands of the inexperienced. It’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid.

See the shootout testing video in this link for an illustration of how they work. Seems to all be dependent on the quality and integrity of the paintwork. I am told this is how all pro shops remove decals.

I found this place and bookmarked it years ago. They have magnetic side stripes and other decal packages. Nothing 914 specific but they have the PORSCHE stripes.
