Default New Porsche font isn't a font


@halfmonkey There is no font for this. Upon careful examination, I determined that every Porsche badge is custom designed (the e's aren't always the same, for example). So I had to draw it myself, drawing upon existing letters in other model badges. I had to design the Z and W from scratch. yourcustomemblem couldn't take my .jpg or even a .bmp so I had to re-draw it in serial vector format (.svf).

I have had several custom emblems over the years and all one has to do is Google Porsche Font and you can come up with whatever your heart desires, and then I passed that along to the person I had making them.

@Bob Z. That is true for the "traditional" Porsche font, but the script that Porsche has been using is not available as a font. There was a long discussion about this many years ago and it's still true. See https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...rera-font.html

I tried e-mailing (twice), calling, and texting everythingvinyl.com. Never got a response to any of the messages I left. I finally just gave up & disputed the charge with my credit card issuer, who issued me a credit within minutes.

Tempting but brakes and suspension are down the road maybe upgrades. Gotta give the wallet a break.

Bought the Hawk Performance ceramic pads in spring, during the Memorial Day long weekend, I finally got around to install them in the spyder. 300 miles later, wheels are still pretty clean. The stock pads had a faint squeak and the Hawk pads are totally quiet.

I've been researching a lot on new pads that would offer less dusting, and ceramic pads are the only option.. How do you like the performance compared to other pads you've run?
