"Turbo" script for floor mat project
Hello,
I am designing some floor mats and am getting the "Turbo" script stiched into them. Does anyone have a good pic of the "Turbo" script? Good enough to scan and use on the mat... cheers!

is it for your own use only, or are you going to sell them, I would be interested! I bet many others would be as well.those factory mats cost too much. I have mats that say porsche, which is nice, but the mats are the only interior peice in my car that looks used, i think the previous owner nought them cheap of of someone. While I'm at it, does anyone sell cheap nice 951 mats?

I am having them custom made, they will be black carpet, with black trim, and a black leather insert with white turbo text stiched into the leather... should look pretty good. This lettering will be on both the passenger and driver side. I was not planning on on selling these. Though I have noticed you guys pay way too much for stuff over there! A premium is paid for development I guess...

alright. sounds NICE! enjoy it! well, I guess I'll keep living with my mats for now. It's not like I can really afford it, but if a good deal came my way, you know what happens.

Not that I give a s***, but IIRC that stylized "turbo" script is actually a Porsche trademark. I could be wrong, but when I bought mine seems Lloyd's was the only one outfit that had them...I could be wrong; just don't want you opening yourself up to some Stuttgart copyright lawyer's wrath...

Lloyd's sells those mats with the script still and honestly they aren't that expensive. I think you can get them through paragon products for around $120 in any color....that's for all 4 mats

I am making mine for USD43 (approx). And get to match it to my cars interior. So anyone got more pics or the script? I dont think the turbo script is copyrighted as it is a common word, unlike porsche...

I don't think using that turbo emblem would be a problem for him unless he tried to market them. Even if you stitched porsche with their emblem into them i wouldn't think so. Porsche has bigger things to worry about then suing some John Doe over his custom floor mats. Start selling them, then that could be a different story.
Post us some pics to show us how they look when you get done!
Who did you go to to have these done? I might have to look into having somme made.

Good idea, I will look. I am now thinking that a screen printed logo may be better? Opposed to the leather stiched option... I will post pictures, they will be great either way I think
