Porsche Wind Deflector with Edge Lighting [from CAD, prototyping to finish]

[JonD]

Hi again nine8six,

I was just wondering, if it would be possible to have a little more spacing between the PORSCHE letters on the screen?
Something like P O R S C H E

I know it's just a personal preference thing but Porsche themselves seem to space the letters out a bit when they stick them on cars. I recently took the Black Boxster script off my car because the 'r' broke and I decided to replace it with Chrome P O R S C H E lettering, and as I said it is just personal preference but I like the extra space between the letters. Have a look at the pics of the back of my car attached and tell me what youthink
Thanks again Mate! You're a STAR! Still waiting hehehe :dance:

I'm not 100% sure its a pref thing, think its designed that way - for a wide trunk anyway! You wouldn't want the P word to look small on a wide object, especially not for a big brand lol. Porsche AG had to give up the tall fat Porsche branding, its passed now. The new pcar rear badge is indeed the stretched p o . However P brand logo remains the same anywhere else. The True Purists!

Our WD is not a wide object at all. Its mini. I see the original idea best fit (there, sharing personal opinions with you lol). I think you should just go for a crest alone - subtle, nice edgy glow and that's it mate. You got your P badge already on your hood.

In amber of course. Your red tone gives a smooth feel to the car, and amber gives exactly that effect. Also nearly exact same color as your gauges and interior lighting, can't make the diff if not told I'm sure.

some inspiration for you (and lots of blah, sry)

Hey Nine,

You certainly deserve all the accolades you get but don't get a big head LOL.

Thanks for your input much appreciated, I think you are correct! Just the crest and in Amber is exactly what I will order when you have stock.
Cheers mate keep up the good work!
Jon

One of the last pics I uploaded with the PORSCHE and Crest on the Trunk had a standard sized Badge on it same as on the hood, but I found that didn't look too great under the lettering (personal opinion). I found a German ebayer selling these smaller badges that go on the steering wheel with a single fastener pin on the back. I bought a couple off him. When they arrived I thought it was a much better size for the trunk, so I cut the pin off and filed the back of the crest smooth (I didn't want to drill a hole in the trunk) then I stuck it on with 2 sided 3M tape on the trunk. I think the smaller crest under the 'S' looks OK.

Big head lollll I know, sounds like that eh lol Funny I was very recently diagnosed with an inferiority complex by a one of our dearest member here (another thread, for having modded my boxster!). Could also be suffering from a superiority complex, dunno... whatever you call what is remotely happening to me - and it's that

Get a cold white as spare LED and you'll be all set for a few topless summers

Glad I could help lol

Looks like I've robbed a few of you on shipping fee (hehehe). I'll issue a refund as soon as I can no worries (despite my near-to-perfection scam act loll).

I've also adjusted the flat rate$ for a 950grams parcel on the site also, much cheaper. What happened is I was using official quotes preset to old round up numbers - as explained in the old policy. Which was 1kg. I swear the Postal Service here used to round up numbers by as much as half kg for Int'l Air Mail... somehow this seems to be something of the pass. So everyone wins, and I get to figure out how to refund the diff to seventeen good fellas :/ failol

Affordable now, latest quote

Priority Air Mail (eta 10-15days) $22.20 (CANADA)
Priority Air Mail (eta 10-15days) $25.56 (USA)
Priority Air Mail (eta 10-15days) $30.64 (EU)

haven't taken install pics yet... I'll hurry (sat morning).

wishing good weather to everybody

Hey Nine,

I obviously can't speak for those you "robbed" hehehe but if it was me there's NO WAY I would accept a refund. Gees mate ALL the work you put in for this DIY a few cents is not gonna break us. In comparison to all the thieves out there in industry, "like the last one who put their objection to your DIY" name withheld for possible litigation BAHAHAHA your product is not just 1st Class but extremely reasonably priced. PORSCHE themselves should learn from that. I know they have a brilliant product but let's face it they are profit mongers there I said it LOL. Do you reckon you made a fan here Nine...lol

[JonD]

PS. The weather here at the moment is summer, I went for a drive last night with the top down temperature 28 degrees CELSIUS 82 Fahrenheit.

So wish I had the deflector on last night so cool. I will definitely get the white LED set as well.

Seriously? It's cheaper to ship to Canada than the US or Europe? And here I thought Canada Post was super expensive.

Anyways, I'm sure none of us would have thought twice about this Nine - but I will say this only adds to your already excellent credentials on here. Thank you.
