Just to be clear, I am not running a group buy for these. I have had a few people PM me asking to be included, what the cost is, etc. so I thought it best to clear that up here. I am hoping to get someone to print them for me; however, I want plugs that are going to be smooth, no PORSCHE or Spider logos, and close to the actual color of the area that the Spyder emblem resides in (and if not they will be painted or wrapped), which is going to involve manipulating the file or whatever is required since I have no 3D printing knowledge.

Just share the files when/if you get them. Thanks.

Bob,
Not a group buy, but possibly an individual buy if you're able to obtain the file and with your connections, find a 3D printing service that can make a batch for you to sale to whoever wants one. Similar to your Spyder vinyl sticker for the front spoiler...which I might add, looks great! Thanks for that one
Most that know me probably know I am pretty **** as to how things look so if I am going to do this is has to look as close to OEM as possible since I do not consider this a "mod" but a necessity, which Porsche should have come up with, such as small flaps that operate automatically. Anyway, I got the impression that the file creator)s) would be printing a bunch of these and offering them here - stay tuned! If that does not work out I will be glad to help.
For those following along, here is a test print with a few different textures. The material I'm using is a bit cheap so it tends to warp (and needs some sanding).
I'm awaiting on a spool of carbon fiber blended plastic that has better strength and is more appropriate for this kind of application.
FYI: with these “plugs”, you my find them relatively tough to pop out at first. There are extremely small, almost invisible tabs on the lower edge, which serve to keep the plugs in place and not rattle. Until they’ve been installed/removed a number of times, it helps to keep an instrument to pop them out quickly from underneath. I use a screwdriver, which I keep stored in the trunk.
