Any 996 owners here? - LotusTalk

If so can I get a real quick favor?
Can you measure from the bottom of the door to the rubber gasket at the bottom of the window (at the front of the door) and let me know the distance?

I'm working on a guys number plates that are going to follow the curve of the front of the door and need to get the scaling right.

If you are able to help...THANKS!

I get 24 inches to the corner just in front of the mirror, where the door meets the fender.

and, 24 3/8" at the mid-point in the door, if the measurements are critical. The door is pretty much the same size from the front until the upward curve at the back of the door.

Thanks a ton Steve!

Thank you. Nice car by the way. Since I've done graphics on a couple of race car versions of them now I must admit they've grown on me.

GT3's are like Exige's.... small following, love/hate relationship thing, both great to drive in their own right, but obviously very different as well.
