Default All Black Center Caps With Porsche Crest?

I was curious whether anyone had these yet on their GT3, and if so had any pics. I think these come originally from the GTS, but Suncoast lists them as fitting the GT3 too.

I received them 2 weeks ago. I have yet to swap them out because car is covered but I love the way they look. I highly recommend them. I am headed on vacation in 3 hours but let me see if I can snap a couple photos after pull them out of the box. I need to be quiet because Wife and Son still asleep.

I have an extra set- long story. If you like mine I can send them to you at a nice discount. They are still in their boxes

Jimmy , I was noticing that your pic looks a little different than the pic on the Suncoast site. Yours looks like it has a smooth edge, but the Suncoast site shows a kind of serrated edge like on the OEM ones. Is that correct?

Aha...a little brain death on my part.....its the center cap surround that has the serrated edge! Would love to see pics sometime when you've got them on the car. Right now I'm thinking they would go pretty well with my pccbs and black wheels. Balancing that with having the more "GT3" specific OEMs.

Jimmy, is the P crest flush with the cap or just stuck on with some sort of adhesive? Wouldn't want some one to pick it off.

^I will go to Dealer next week and have them show me how to take them off safely. I am just waiting for the weather to change because some one here wants to swap their black rims for the stock ones' and I am going to do every thing at the same time. I think the crest would look awesome with the black rims. The Crest is flush with the cap but what you do not see is the back of the cap. It has some depth to it. It looks like it just snaps in and it has a rubber piece on the back to prevent any water from penetrating. It is actually very nicely made.

Let me know if you want them because I have been PM by a few people who would be interested in buying the second set I have. I offered them to you first so you get first right of refusal. No pressure, what so ever, and I am not rushing you for a decision.

Jimmy,

Please post some pics once you've installed these. A comparison shot of your stock wheels, and one with the Porsche crest would be great. I'm deciding whether or not to do this myself.
