Emailed Jim over two weeks ago to get an order going, no response. Typical?

We all start new somewhere! He will get back to you and send him an email every couple of weeks or so and he will get back to you. Jim travels a lot for business and working on crests is a hobby that he and his daughter work on together. I talked to him the other day again to be sure the wheel center background is correct.

Hey Bob.....
did you have to send Jim your center caps and then he puts the crest on them? I have HRE wheels and the caps are different size than Porsche center caps. Just trying to figure out a way to get the crests on mine.
Thanks!

Hey. No, I offered to send him mine but he said new ones are included; however, in your case I think he would make an exception due to the size difference. Or you can discuss the option of him making the crests for you and sending you just those, which you would attach to your center caps.

Does the blue match your car? My car is sapphire blue and I was wondering how it would look.

Yes, it is supposed to be Miami Blue and you tell him what the color code is. Mine will look perfect once it is finished.

The hood crest is done but the wheel & steering wheel crests are still in progress since Jim has been very busy; however, for work like this I have no problem waiting:

If you use 3M tape to attach the crest to the hood, then I will guess the rubber gasket is not used, correct?
