Just got an email from USPS. My caps are being delivered today! Woo Hoo!

I just checked mine, they hit my town at 6:59 AM this morning. They are not out for delivery so I think I might get them tomorrow!

Customs....hmm..not sure how long mine will take. I'm thinking friday the latest.

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

Oh, another one who went without the engraving. :)
Looks great!

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!

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!! :)

Lol gotta love Costco for that, my first gen caps they left loose to rotate >.<

P.s her bag came while I was working outside debating about holding it hostiage to see what I can get out of the deal ...... if I don't post anymore you know she did not take well to the idea! Lol

Oh yeah the Facebook guys love your caps

lolll

Exclusive stuff, enjoy bud

Fred.... please never design anything with 5 small set screws holding it again! Lol what a pita taking the old caps off. New ones look amazing!!

Good god... Martin this looks nice. Thanks for sharing bud. Keeping this PS version in 2xcopies. One in the caps folder and the other in the projector folder. Owe you huge brother. Thanks!

RE previous model's 5x set screws. Hmm, doable but not easy man, can't disagree here. Sorry about that... won't happen again.

Look what just arrived:

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1497033282.jpg

Plans to wash the car (ugh - pollen) and then install these later this afternoon :)

Nice color combination!!

Are those packing bags exploding due to altitude? That little post lady was so not impressed with my packaging skills... she said this is going pop loud in the cargo. Was she right?! we're they still sealed when you got them?

dude that looks so badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IM SO JEALOUS !!!!!!

They were sealed perfectly still - not even a single bubble in the bubble wrap was popped.

They look even better in person. They are just sitting on my kitchen counter waiting for me to get them outside (quick T-storm just passed thru and I finish up work in a tad, then its out to wash the car and pop those suckers on). Will update with a pic after.

Just arrived a little while ago. I'll take some proper photos of them installed sometime during the next week.

Absolutely brilliant, Fred. So lucky to have you on this forum!! Thanks so much.

I got mine..there is only one word for what Fred has done. SPECTACULAR! Its almost too gorgeous to put it on the car. I feel like it needs to be displayed with an Art Collection!
THANKS FRED! Now I want your projectors and anything else you decide to make. Fan for life!

I also received mine Wednesday, will take a pic when I get them on. Thanks Fred.

Good lord, you have some style Kevin. Nice comp and lighting. Symmetry and all. Jeez man. Glad to hear you like them. And please go easy on us if you take some more pics (wish I had yours skills) :o

Brilliant software and machines, kudos goes to those assets. I'm just an operator loll

Way too kind David, appreciate the kind words. Glad you like them :cheers:

@Jim - way cool to see them on your car finally, looks cool bud. Boring and unchallenged install I presume? didn't take long for you to get them there. Got to be a better way lolll

@Terry - can't wait ;)

I had the read the instructions earlier - put them in the fridge while I washed the cars (my 986 and the wife's speed yellow 987). Lined them up, first two prongs in then pushed the rest on - a little tap with the palm of my hand and right in. Very easy.

Thanks again :)

People seem to like them here in Sweden too. Some believed I had converted to center bolts. 😁
After my explanation, though, one comment was that original looks better and this is like putting M3 badges on a 320...
Can't please everyone... ;)

The comments I am ALWAYS getting is “where the hell did you get those” or “man those are f n nice”. Occasionally comes from non-porsche owners and friendsa also. The recent comments we had for the latest caps here at the club is “HOLLY *&^&&^, whatever those cost I want them also” lollllll

Reminds me; when we were out on our monthly Porsche Drive, this guy (Spanish guy) comes up to me and asked if my car was a CGT?! He was so (soooooo) upset by the fact that my headlights and wheels were retrofitted. Standing there, red face, arms straight on the side of his body, literally getting ready to kick my ass. It was one of the most ‘porsche’ awkward moment I’ve ever experienced. As is scary as hell. The same guy who owns a Guards Red 996 with carbon fiber stickers/trims, road-rashed oem wheels, rusty lug bolts, Alibaba.com $5 knockoffs center caps, and old style yellow’ish headlights. When my mate later found out he had GT3 labeled floor carpets in his interior and told everyone, the guy magically disappeared we just never saw him again. Weird(est) dude ever!

You got to be careful who you play with in this Porsche/business man, weird dudes like this do exist (real)! You just can’t be into this “please everyone” thing, that will never work (see below; speaking with experience). Just have fun for 'yourself' my friend :cheers:
