986 magnetic badge

[Jeph]

I did the same thing with a Jesus fish @ SuperChrist.com

Depending on how large you went, I'd guess the dye would cost around $50 (if you went the "986S" route -"Boxster" or "Speedster" would require a considerably larger dye). The fun question is, what kind of material would you be using for the letters? There's brushed aluminum that may look good. I, myself, enjoy anything reflective. Since I love monochromatic schemes, reflective color to match the color of your car would be really cool. Plus, at night with headlights blazing your car's rear, the logo/emblem would REALLY stand out.

Send me a PM if you want the info of the guy who did my dye or to see photos of how the the reflective shows up at night.

Hey brother....nice to know there's another christian-porsche-owner on the board. Seeing the response I got (or lack thereof ) I'm not gonna look into getting the die made right now. I did order the black magnetic material and I'm gonna try and trace the numbers with an exacto knife. If I get it near-perfect, I'll post some pics of them.

I would actually need 2 dies (a "9" and an "8")...the "6" is just an upsidown "9".

I like your fish!!!!

If you ordered some 986 (or 968 actually) numbers, you could use those as stencils to put over your magnetic material to trace with the exacto.

Your idea is interesting and I wonder how it would do on eBay...

I'm pretty sure I have access to numbered dyes. Unless they're too big, I may stamp a set out for you if you'd like. -However, knowing the use of these dyes, the font will probably something "western" lookin', and I reckon that wouldn't cut it on a one of them there Porsheys.

I'm glad you like the fish! (People in Norway love them too, they buy the most.)
