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!

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?!

I do not see how you may have felt that I did not appreciate the work that you have displayed - they do look quite nice.

No reason to take a cheap shot against Ferrari (girl's shoes - ???). I simply used them as an illustration of my point since I have been active on FerrariChat.com for the past 15 years. And it is well known there that the Ferrari corporate legal staff regularly monitors the site, looking for copyright infringements.

One can therefore reasonably assume that Porsche has a similar legal department that might perhaps take exception to your work.

That's all - I have said my piece, and I wish you the best of luck in your work.

Ok, that's great, thanks!

Just like Ferrari, Dave, Porsche are indeed bothered about the un-authorized use of their TM. They won’t give ‘anyone’ the auth to do so, even to those who get to hang out with the top execs from Porsche Asia during the Carrera Cup, F1GP and other events

Fortunately for us they are not as apocalyptic as some member here and somehow let us enjoy a bit e.g. flags, pins, knockoff center caps, etc etc that you see “everywhere on eBay”. Even their wheels designs. If they’d go full-speed legal about it trust me it’d be shut down in the morning under the VeRO act.

As for those caps, and as friend Charles/Particlewave said, I do not offer them for 'profits' (hell, they'd be $625/set with all the works that goes into them lolll). If I’d be the bad guy I’d manufacture 20,000 and upload those crazy renderings on every eCommerce platforms known to mankind today and certainly get rich overnight with this stuff. I clearly have the abilities to do so but for obvious reasons I don’t. You just need to know where boundaries are (Dave!)

What I do for friends is “fully custom” and based on your requirements so if you or others are feeling uncomfortable with using that majestic badge for your own caps, by all mean ask for the Death Skull design instead

If they start back up I will take a set like this
