Default I saw a interesting 993 today

It was a dark blue stock coupe with painted (not decals) Porsche crests/ shield badges on each side where the European markers would typically be. Very similar to what Ferrari does. Has anyone seen this before? Is this a special edition? I know who the owner is and he is a mega Millionaire . Unfortunately it wasn't appropriate time or place to snap a photo. It definitely looked cool!

I think that’s the Mega Millions edition.

If you want a Ferrari, then buy a Ferrari.

How different is that from the Power Ball edition? Is that even close to the Croppmobile or a totally different spec?

I had seen this on a car and thought I kinda liked it so instead of doing anything permanent I got some magnets. I actually liked it on my red car vs. some friends with other colors where they looked out of place. But in the end I will say 99% of the time I don't put them on the car.

I like the look of the badge on the side of the car. Don't presently have it on my car, but being speed yellow/black trim I would look for a black over yellow version to integrate with the body color, similar to my interest in a pewter badge for the hood. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I am a cheap bastard and as such it holds me back!

Nice! I like the big magnetic version too.

Found this on Suncoast- might be useful for someone here to try (hint, hint Andy...)

This treatment makes me think of the WW2 fighter aces who marked their 'wins' in a similar spot on their planes. It worked better for that purpose to my eye.
