I hadn't heard of 000 before this car was announced, but I've ordered a copy to be shipped to New Zealand. I deeply admire the care and attention to detail that people put into products like this.

I predict it will become your favorite car magazine...or did you order one of the "000 Spyder Special" cars to be shipped to NZ?

God bless,

CXX will do it, for the princely sum of $3,660 (I passed )

Damn! What the hell?!? Honestly was thinking I paid too much for mine (got it done custom) before seeing this but Porsche price tag is insane!

You can buy them from Suncoast for about $300 for the pair and them have them painted.

Hello,

I'm interested in doing the same. Can you recommend you who used? Any removal tricks of the badge? (i've seen heat gun & dental floss recommended)

thanks

I would investigate having them painted on the car... if that could be done then I would do it too. Hmmm maybe time to break out the tape and air brush!

Correct - some heat and dental floss or fishing line will work to get them off, and I have had Eric at bumperplugs.com paint many pieces over the years, including the Targa emblems I posted a pic of. Tell him Bob Z. referred you. Or you can find a local shop but Eric does a great job.

Moe at Glistening Perfection purchased an extra set and had those painted and installed them, so not sure how he removed it. He did mention that they have a double sided tape and some pins.

I have used Bumper Plugs in the past, they also do a great job!

An "eagle-eyed" RL'er spotted this "production mule" of the '000' special edition lurking in a garage while "testing" at Sonoma Raceway yesterday!

Has anyone actually ordered a 000 edition spyder yet? Would love to see what the interior looks like in real life.
