I may be able to model it but don't have a Spyder myself.
Great, hopefully we can get the file! Otherwise, the only challenge I can foresee is getting a material that closely matches the flat black in that area.

I'm in too!! Those are awesome. I didn't think about it until I read the red roof comment and realized that I put my red roof down when delivered and don't intend to put it back up for a while...I do not want to get dirty marks on it.

It is way too early to do anything since we do not have the file, etc.; however, since I started this thread I will try my best, along with the help of Fruity, and of course, Odo3, to get these made one way or the other. When that gets done I will be sure to update everyone here and put of the details and inform everyone of what needs to happen to get a pair. Keep your fingers crossed that we can work this out!

Default Spyder hole plugs

I made the Spyder hole plugs and don’t mind sharing the files with you guys. The one with the “Porsche”name are relatively easy to print . I recommend using a material like PETG since it is UV resistance. To print it, like in the picture, it’s needs to be printed in an unconventional way since the writing is only one layer high and raised.
The plugs with the Spyder are a bit tricky if you don’t have a printer with dual extruders. But you can check in you area for a 3D printing service and they are most likely able to do it for you. The idea is to have a small LED behind the plug for a nice light effect . You can decide on the color of your Spyder inlays matching your cars features/color. Also the surface you print on will give the plug a distinct appearance. You can see that in the attached picture .

This are my test prints for the “Spyder” plug version .. I’m using a single extrusion printer and have to change material after the Spyder is printed.

Here you see more of the print details on the Porsche plug.
