I used a Dupli color kit (brushed on) and it looks fantastic.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Mine is a non-S 2001 Boxster. I am about to paint the calipers red and bought decals from xenonmods.com They say on their site....." The default size for the Porsche caliper decals is 3.5"x.245" - this is the standard size on all '94-up models. Prior makes/models used different sizes, so using the dropdown at the right will let you choose the size right for your car!" But when I measured the white PORSCHE on my stock calipers they were 3" long, not 3.5" . Can an S owner of a 986 out there please measure the length of the logo on your caliper. I want these to look stock and may have to send back the 3.5" decals. Thanks, Bob

POST 2Original post

Hey Bob, I don't know what the standard sizing is but my decals from Xenon mods has worked and look perfectly. More important than sizing is making sure that you get it on properly and not have it too high/low or crooked. I compare my painted calipers to my friends with S's and my brakes look better. The stock calipers lose their luster over time as do the lettering. I used a Dupli color kit (brushed on) and it looks fantastic.

POST 3Original post

2002 Box S... Porsche lettering is 3" both front and rear.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks....based on this info I'm writing to xenonmods.com and asking them to correct the error. Bob
