Are the black PORSCHE decklid letters widely available from the usual suppliers anodized like the originals, or am I better off re-anodizing an original set? If anyone has a perfect set, please let me know.

Nick,I'am in the process of reanodizing a new silver letter set and 911 emblem to gold.If you want I will let you know how the process works out.You can buy new silver metal letters and redo in black.

Thank you David, I’ll be interested to hear. I have a spare set of original aluminum black letters that I could use if the process proves to work out well.

This is another option. http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...=1#post1026259
Indistinguishable from black anodized.

I wouldn't quite call it indistinguishable. But it is a really good look, not as harsh a contrast as new black plastic or normal black painted letters against the silver paint. It takes a bunch of light coats to get it dark enough, but it is pretty easy paint to work with.
I also tried it on my engine grill, didn't like it as much there. Too glossy and artificial looking. SEM Euro Jet Black Matte looks better to me there.

I still can’t believe the new issue letters are plastic.....
