Your crest looks great. I would like to do the same, but I've found Jim to be lacking in communication, so I can only admire the crests of those lucky souls whom Jim has deemed worthy.

You can send Jim a PM since he is a member here - check out the last few posts in this recent thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1199...y-on-ebay.html

For what it is worth, Jim has made me 7 (frunk, rear, steering wheel/airbag, & wheel center caps) for my car and they are all perfect.

He never replied to my PM from months ago. I just assumed he wasn't interested in doing anymore. Never tried again and found a badge somewhere else. Definitely not as special as one of his, but oh well.

I also had to send a few messages before I got an answer but it was worth the effort. BTW the mail adddress I used (and to which Jim replied) was carreraeast AT gmail.com

Installed the PORSCHE LED projectors today, OEM Porsche. Done is 10 minutes, including unboxing :-)
Very easy, you only have to know where top pry out the existing lights. I made a few pictures ao showing that:

Unboxing:

This is where you pry out the existing lights:


Removal of door courtesy light

OK, I wanna get these, but I like the Pcar crest better than the word. I don't think there's any OEM versions of that tho.

@F1SML8R what you say may be true but for the price I am happy for what I got and I don't think for me the price difference is worth the quality difference, after all it is just a light logo you see when you open the door. The ad pics is accurate

I have these cheap ones on my car. The quality seems fine to me, and they look great. I am ordering some more for my other car.

i bought the $12 ones.

i removed one of the original ones an tested resistance on it. it uses a replaceable bulb with a filament and read 135 ohms.

the $12 one is a bit dimmer and uses LEDs and it read 0.5 ohms.

installed them anyway.

here's what it looks like directly under the fluorescent lights on the one side:


and in the relative dark of the garage on the other side:


they're kinda neat but i'm not sure if and/or how long i'll leave these on.

I have the original porsche logo one and I actually like this better.

I like that you cannot see it in a sunny day and at night the fonts are bigger.

thanks for posting. I may need to buy this.
