What's the word on the tinted wind deflector for the 986?

He's also going to let me do whatever custom design I want on the wind deflector, in color too. Only problem is that my SO and I can't come up with anything for the life of us. My car is totally de-badged except for a red "S" on the rear trunk. So I don't really want anything that says "Porsche" or "Boxster S", etc. I was thinking about something more subtle, like a big red "S" or "No Substitute", maybe "Gemballa" since I have their body kit. Since I've got the wild Gemballa body kit, CF hood, and clear LED tail lights I was also thinking of "Schnell Reis" (I may have spelled that wrong) which is German for Fast Rice. :P Or how about "Deutscher Reis" for German Rice. Any suggestions on what kind of graphics or words to have them make for me? |

I like the passive aggressiveness of your ideas. Schell Reis and Deutscher Reis are both very good. Not many will get it but you will and the people who do get the joke will love it. A large S emblazzend across the restrictor in red would be nice and ad to the confusion of what kind of car you have. Why not a large S and Deutscher Reis across the bottom. Both in red to contrast. But grey or silver etching would look classier to me. Have fun. Gary A few weeks ago I was talking to them about doing a tinted windscreen with red "PORSCHE" on the bottom centered. I am going to wait and see how dark the one you get is. I want mine very dark like the tinted windscreen I have now. |
I think a nice red "S" in the lower-right corner would look pretty subtle and cool, along with not hindering rearward visibility.

I kinda like the 3rd picture in post #9- the silhouette. But I would have it etched at the bottom of the deflector. Maybe a little smaller. Plus it'll look the same in the rear view mirror.
Just my 2 cents. |
Here was one of my ideas, for a black tinted windscreen...
My license plate is up for renewal and I really wanted to get "NOSUBS2", but it's not available. This is kind of a substitute for that... oh, wait there is "no" substitute. Um, I guess this is just another option anyway. |
I would think you were the most pompous **************************** in the world if you had that on your car. :)
More practically, I'd be worried about people bangin' up your car with that on it! |

I dont think "no Subsitute"is bad at all. It does not seem snobish to me. Maybe just the words without the lcrest? That may look better. Another option may be "excellence" |
A friend of mine suggested I get a decal for the spoiler that says:
"Anhalten mich !" which he translates (roughly, I am sure) as ARREST ME! Feel free to use that on your windstop! :D |
What do you guys think of these designs for a tinted wind deflector? I'm leaning toward the first one.
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/d...ddeflector.jpg this one I thought was a bit much... http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/d...deflectorB.jpg or one for the forum... :cheers: ;) http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/d...deflectorC.jpg and one last one... http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/d...deflectorD.jpg |
I like the 3rd one.
986forum.com All of them look great. any of them and you should be happy. |
i wouldn't use any without the full porsche badge
i see them and think.. uh.. wtf are those? that would just be like putting gold/red stripes... it's no relevance without the whole thing... looks more like ferrari to me, since they sometimes use just the prancing horse image alone http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&q=ferrari+logo |

So, what if you went full blown with Porsche logo elements? Too "foo foo"? http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/d...deflectorE.jpg |

how about a boxster silhouette/outline? |

http://www.dynamicautoconcepts.com/P...g/Boxter_4.jpg not for me. looking for something a little more classic roadster. It's kinda weird to me to have a graphic of your car ON your car. I know the horse isn't the first recognizable icon of Porsche. The badge is, but the horse is on the badge. Now I think I'm leaning towards my last design I posted. |
I'll be posting all of our different options tomorrow including tinted, real glass look, blue, green and last but not least- PINK! (per request) :rolleyes:
First we will be signing up for our supporting vendor status so that we are official. Thanks to Brucelee and Rkwei for allowing us to generate feedback and input with this giveaway promotion. And to answer a popular question before we begin, yes we can make any design that someone requests. Each design that is not on our drop down menu will be considered a "custom design". We can not promote several logos on our website for obvious reasons but we are open to any design a person may come up with. Feel free to email us with graphic designs for any suggestions you may need or questions you may have. Several new photos will be available tomorrow or Saturday of all of our options. |
