Lol no problem Fed, I have been giving him a hard time about it lol he hates when I point out to people that he is missing the insert lol.

My wife is mad at you though, she has been waiting for a bag she bought from Singapore, she is mad that I got the Center caps before she got her bag lmao

Clarification (everyone): Martin's brother has the GTC style cap. Not the GT3 style published in this thread.

I've been told by email from his brother that he suspect his mechanic/Wheel installer unscrewed the wrong screw! Mecanic possibly/wrongly associated the center screw for the one holding the cap in place. He may also have forgotten the technique required to secure a M4 screw back together correctly. Bro therefore lost the center part/badge of his cap within days following the maintenance.

Nice8Six Factory should have raised a formal complaint to the CA Transport Ministry and delay all diplomatic relations until further notice, however have instead agreed to simply replace the missing part for free - Martin Bros are good friends of us ;)

Thanks for letting me know you received the cap Martin! SG has no exit port checks, that bag should be held-up at the custom with CA Post. Keep up hope the Inspection Officer is not a chick LOL

Yes :/ 4 (four) of you guys didn't like the laser bits - as in the coolest part of the cap. But that's okay, we are just not friends anymore loll

(just jokin) does look classic without the script. Had friends over that said the same thing when they saw them. But then they we're picking up, holding, looking and completely fascinated with the ones having a laser script & autograph. Both a good choice apparently!

Uncle!!!
 
Can the smart guys (who jumped on Fred's Cap creations) please stop posting photos of these beautiful caps. It's making me, and I'm sure everyone else who did not jump in, quite sick to our stomachs. They all simply look outstanding! Congrats to everyone that got a set.

Fred, while you are waiting for your car to dry out, I just thought of a great suggestion. Why not make another run!

tommydorsey 06-08-2017 10:28 AM

Fred - Jeez, these are beautiful. I will post on the car as soon as I can, wife has the car right now.

Thanks so much!!!

Jim

Would love to buys a set if they're still available or there's a 2nd run coming for my 911 996??

Sorry just read my PM and hopefully they'll be a 2nd run in late August this year, if so I'll take a red set!! :)
