Porsche Raised Lettering

I have fabricated a 2-DIN leather covered dash panel for my 7" Alpine headunit. I'm now finding it somewhat dull looking since it has a large almost 1" high strip at the top.

The thing that would look beautiful on it would be some "P O R S C H E" raised, silver, lettering.

I found this key fob in the web: http://www.eagleday.com/poblleke.html. Does anyone know the size of the letters? If they are about 3/8" or a bit less, they would be perfect for my purpose.

I don't know how large those letters are, but I'd guess about 1/4" high based on the secondary ring for the key. I personally think the raised-edge chrome lettering will show too much contrast in a 9x6 interior, where no straight lines or chrome bits are to be found. I'd look into embossing or stitching the leather instead. Talk to this guy, his leather work is phenomenal: http://www.designpaulchampagne.com/PorscheLeather.html

Post pictures when you get it done!

Thanks for your comments, Mark. Actually, my 996TT has a bit of silver in the interior, so I think it will be a nice match, but we'll see, since I just ordered one of those keychains. Next week I should have the job done and will post pictures!
