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

Banana S - yes we did and it was very slow for some reason, similar to your experience but we eventually got the decals. I believe they moved off the dime when I texted them a msg to pls cancel our order or we would contest the cc charges. I believe there was some mention of equipment failure or changeout but would have thought that would have been resolved by now.

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?
