Porsche people are different. The passion isn't just about speed or horsepower. It's about a specific relationship with a specific car. The 911 you drove once and never forgot. The 917 you watched win Le Mans on television. The 964 you've been building in your head for twenty years. Porsche enthusiasm runs deep, and it tends to follow you into every room you inhabit, including the garage.
This guide covers the full Deckorate Porsche collection: which model to choose, how to display it, and why a skateboard deck works as automotive wall art in a way that a poster never quite manages.
Why a skateboard deck and not a poster
Every car enthusiast has had posters. Most have outgrown them. The problem with a poster isn't the image. It's the format. A poster is flat. It sits on a wall like a photograph, indistinguishable from a printout. It has no presence.
A skateboard deck is a different object. The maple construction gives it depth and weight. The slight concave curve catches light differently depending on the angle you view it from. It hangs away from the wall rather than against it. When you put a Porsche illustration on a deck and mount it in a garage, it reads less like decoration and more like an object that belongs there, the same way a wing mirror or a roll of safety wire belongs on a workshop shelf.
The matte finish also matters in a garage specifically. No glare under workshop lighting. No reflections washing out the image when you turn the lights on. The artwork looks the same at 2pm as it does at 11pm under fluorescents.
The Porsche 964: the most requested model in the collection
The 964 sits at a specific intersection of Porsche history that makes it almost universally loved. It was the last properly air-cooled 911 before significant modernisation. It was the car that introduced all-wheel drive and power steering to the 911 range while still retaining the rawness that defined the model. And it arrived at precisely the moment when Japanese tuning culture discovered it and made it their own.
The result is a car that means something completely different to different generations of enthusiast, and it looks extraordinary in every iteration. The Deckorate 964 range covers the main expressions of that diversity:
- 964 Martini Racing: the classic livery with red and blue stripes. Racing heritage, immediately recognisable, works in any space.
- 964 Rotiform: aggressive aftermarket wheels, stance culture aesthetic. For garages that lean toward the modified car scene.
- 964 Singer DLS: the ultimate restomod. For anyone who considers Singer's work the high-water mark of what a 911 can be.
- 964 Rauh-Welt Begriff (RWB): Nakai-san's widebody philosophy. Polarising in conversation, unmistakable on a wall.

The GT3RS: for garages that lean toward the track
If the 964 is about heritage, the GT3RS is about purpose. The massive rear wing, the aggressive aero, the naturally aspirated engine screaming to 9,000rpm. It's a car designed around a single objective and entirely uninterested in compromise. That's true of both generations in the collection.
The 911 GT3RS is the previous generation: slightly softer in visual language than its successor but no less focused. The 911 has a cleaner silhouette and a broader colour range, making it the more versatile of the two as wall art. It sits well in any garage, from a daily-driver setup to a dedicated workshop.
The 992 GT3RS is the current generation and a different animal visually. The swan-neck rear wing, the enormous front splitter, the side-mounted radiator intakes. Porsche pushed the aerodynamic brief further than ever with the 992, and the result is a car that looks almost like a GT racing machine wearing number plates. As wall art it has an aggressive presence that suits garages with a more modern, track-focused character.
Choose based on the generation you follow, the car you own, or simply which shape speaks to you. Both are available in multiple colourways.
The rest of the Porsche range
The collection covers more than just the 964 and GT3RS. A few others worth knowing:
Porsche 911 Classic: the long-hood cars from the 1960s and 70s. Simple, elegant, timeless. Works in any space, including rooms that aren't garages.
Porsche 911 RSR "Pink Pig": the 1971 Le Mans car with its butcher's chart livery. One of the most distinctive paint schemes in motorsport history and a genuine conversation starter.
Porsche 917 Gulf: the Le Mans legend in Gulf blue and orange. One of the most iconic liveries in any collection, Porsche or otherwise.
How to display them
A single deck works as a focal point: above the car, above the workbench, or at eye level on an otherwise bare wall. The right wall fixture holds the deck slightly away from the surface, which gives it the floating effect that makes the difference between something that looks mounted and something that looks installed.
Deckorate sells dedicated wall fixtures designed specifically for the decks. They keep the deck at the right distance from the wall, hold it securely, and look clean rather than improvised. If you're putting a deck in a proper space, use proper fixtures.
Multiple decks work as a gallery wall. Three decks horizontal above a workbench is the most common layout and requires roughly two metres of wall space. Keep 8-10cm between decks for the cleanest look. Three decks stacked vertically works well on narrower walls or beside a door.
For a 964 collection specifically, the RWB 3-pack (Series 1 and 2) is designed to be displayed together: three builds, consistent aesthetic, immediate visual coherence. It's the fastest way to fill a wall with something that looks like it was curated rather than accumulated.
A custom deck of your actual Porsche
Every option in the collection is based on a recognisable model or livery. But if you own a Porsche with a specific colour, a specific wheel setup, specific modifications, the custom deck service exists for exactly that.
Submit photographs of the car, the Deckorate team illustrates it, and the finished deck is printed on premium maple. The result is an object that represents your specific car, not a generic version of the model. Your chalk grey 991.2 GT3 Touring with the specific ducktail and the specific wheel setup. Not just "a 991 GT3."
For anyone who has spent years building a Porsche to their exact specification, that distinction matters.

Practical notes
Decks are standard skateboard size: approximately 80cm x 20cm. Large enough to see clearly from across a garage, compact enough to group multiples without overwhelming the wall.
Maintenance is minimal. Dust occasionally with a microfibre cloth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight. The matte finish handles garage temperature fluctuations without issue, and holds up better than canvas prints or framed posters, which are more sensitive to humidity and heat.
For mounting, the Deckorate wall fixtures are designed specifically for the decks and give a clean, professional result. Available here.
