A. J. - take your electronic file (either adobe Illustrator or EPS format) to any sign shop or graphics shop and they will cut your logos out of vinyl or print them on vinyl 'paper'. If you need the Porsche name logo - many of us here have the Porsche font and would be happy to send it to you.
Here is one I made for my website:
you can see it on my site <a href="http://www.pcarracing.homestead.com" target="_blank">here</a>. I made it using a scan of the crest and the Porsche Font in Adobe Illustrator.
The trick is finding a good graphics shop - but its really not that hard. Let me know if you want more help - I know a few that you can send the file to electronically and they will send you back the finished product.

Thanks EJ - I would definitely like that font. Here I spent all this time this weekend making my own letters by hand! Include in the e-mail some suggestions on where to find a shop to print something like that out on. I have outstanding files of the Porsche crest that used to be posted on Robin's site. I didn't think that the professional shops would be willing to print out something like that, or the "Porsche" text. Am I wrong?
Here's the flames that I'm going to use, one on each side in the jaw area:
Here's what I have so far:

<a href="http://members.rennlist.com/movies1/helmet2.jpg" target="_blank">Helmet 2</a>
<a href="http://members.rennlist.com/movies1/helmet3.jpg" target="_blank">Helmet 3</a>
Thanks for the ideas and assistance!
