You are all on your own on that part. mouahah

Paul, RE "possible and reasonable". Anything really, up to you bro. Just got to be in vector format, solid black/white graphix like that skull above works best but can do raster also.

I made this in Adobe Illustrator for my vinyl decals, I stretched it for my vinyl but I could edit it so that it would fit into a circle, this might be cool for mine if there is a custom option for the center cap. Although I probably would just do silver crest

Well there you go, we were all looking for the "Limited Edition" icon.

Ladies & Gent, thanks goes to Steve!

$4,999.00 (each)

Nice! I'll take 8. Edit: And I bow to your 3d and photo manipulation skills!

Porsche center caps renderings

Here goes the first stack of renders! More to come if needed

I'm just going to keep the laser markings that I've done for the previous CGT series as this is what wins among everyone I've asked here. I apologize for the GT Collection autograph... I know it is extremely pretentious (loll) but there you go, gives a collection look & feel to them and getting good feedback from those who've seen them. Keeper!

Anyhow, I guess you can call those fully-custom so if you don't like anything you can personalize them to your taste.

If anyone in business and interested to get a batch for retail I can let them go for a better price. Something like $3,999.00 (each). Just PM me and we'll talk (no min. qty required)

(serious, I still don't know what's the price tag on those, certainly below $150 for a kit for sure. Let's see when I'm done)





















^ Any Sepultura fans here?!

Won't you be in violation of copyright laws thru your use of the Porsche name and trademark?

Ferrari, for one, regularly goes after and prosecutes such cases like this.

Thanks - DM

I personally don't know anyone senior enough boarding the Ferrari group so very unlikely you'll see me using Enzo's trademark :/ Don't like Ferrari anyway... reminds me too much of girls shoes

You don't like my center caps?!

Thanks Fred. I will look for or figure out how to get the Boxster S script in a vector format. Then I'll just need to know how much extra the cost is over the standard offering! That's what I meant about "possible and reasonable"! Even I am on a budget!
