986 Apparel?

Do you guys know of any site that sells 986 apparel? Best I can find is the site listed below. Lots of great products but I am not so sure I like the design of the Boxster logo. Doesn't do our car justice. Plus I don't like how the guys name is under the car. The price is right though on his products. Anyone else have any luck anywhere else?

Design Details

That's about all I've ever seen with a 986 design. I would like to hear if anyone has found anything else as well.

That 986 render looks terrible! It looks a bit cartoonish.

Not to "toot my own horn", but I think that the 986 silhouette that I made would look nice on a T or hat. There are places that will put a picture on a T or hat for you and you are welcome to use the picture.

Yeah I would take your design over the other guys any day of the week.

I also design shirts, and would be happy to do a run of shirts for the members here.

With spread shirt and such, there are many ways to make your own t shirt these days! I agree that p-waves design would look great on a black hat! Would love if it had the front bumper lip before the lights though, that is an element of the 986 design that looks stunning.

Well, go right ahead

I might play with it more when I have time. Just to be clear, I only modified the 981 silhouette, so it's not really "mine".
Copy, paste and transform.

A few years ago now, but this is my custom version.

I wanted something specific to the 986, but couldn't find anything I liked, especially in a light colour.

I PS'd the Boxster outline and had it embroidered onto one of the stock caps. At the same time I had "986" added to the side above the stock "Porsche" lettering.

I have a 911 shirt from Blipshift that has several silhouettes for that car:

If there was a boxster version I would get that as well.

Here is my share.

I've included the source files below. Hoping for a 'true' artist to pick up where I left it. Unfortunately I don't have more than 10min to draw stuff.... It was a fun 10 min however!

That's the car I stole to sketch some outlines... beef'ed them up with some stock Illustrator brushes and boom... unique lol







Source files:

Adobe Illustrator: http://www.gtprojectors.com/downloads/986silhouette.ai
Adobe PDF: http://www.gtprojectors.com/downloads/986silhouette.pdf

^ In case someone wants to print a t-shirt out of it... your printing shop will require those

Here is my stab at the side view, including a few different color combos for different styles!

I'd rock that one in a heartbeat! I agree, the first one in the link is a bit weak. The Boxster Spec design looks pretty cool too!
