By the way, the wheel crests look better now since I got Yellow calipers:

I do really like the one in the link you posted, Bob, thank you! was hoping to get one made to exactly match the crests on the T wheels, but that may have to do. Thanks again, Obi Wan Kenobi!

There are a few more on ebay as well so look around and search on what I posted and you can also try searching on "custom Porsche crest:.

I bit the bullet and purchased one off of eBay. Received it today. After all of the beautiful photos on this thread, and comments about quality and fit and finish, I have to admit I'm a little underwhelmed by the quality. The metal is pitted, dinged up, and you can see how the paint lines look. Share your thoughts? Not trying to bash the product, just wondering if these flaws are normal. I'd love to call the seller directly, bit as stated previously, been emailing for 6 mos with no response.

There are a few sellers of custom crests on ebay - are you sure it is from Carrera East Studios? If so you can return it along with a detailed list of what is not what you expected and he will correct it and send it back. For what it is worth, every one I have from Carreara East is perfect.

opened the link, and purchased it.

Sorry, I did not recall that; however, I still stand by what I said and I am positive that others can attest to the quality of his work. Send it back and describe in detail what you want corrected and I assure you that he will make it perfect.

Check out some of the ones he had done here and you shall see what I mean; however, I do not know why you received one that is subpar: https://smg.photobucket.com/user/jty...20Crests/story

I have ordered multiple crests from Carrera East and the work was flawless. Here is his email I'm sure if it's his Jim will make it good. Does not look like his work.

His name, company, and address are on the shipping label. I'll PM you a pic if you'd like. Emailed again, we'll see what happens.

I agree, if you look at the pics in the link I posted it does not look like one of his, and I am very picky about such things and I went to my car and looked at mine and they are perfect so something is not right here.

No need I totally believe you. I would not accept it. I believe he will make it good if you are unhappy with it.
This is my current one.

Me, too, but I am still baffled as to what happened and I am sorry you did not get what you expected since I only refer people to products that I think at top-notch.

The edges could be cleaner. All the badges that I have seen have always looked excellent.
