We will have to run the numbers on the plate but if I had to guess it will be around $255 without it. We are a bit bummed that you guys don't like the insignia. We hate making products that look like everyone else's and when you are producing a replica of a factory part, it ends up looking like everyone else's replica part. O'well, worst case we will have a bunch of 3.6 badges sitting on the shelf.

 

As much as I don’t like badges and decorations.... I’ve got to hand it to your design dept.. It looks like very well made piece (looks like you even have extra material around the hose port to keep it together) and is recognizable as Rennline piece, you have a distinctive style that I do like....

I think you will do well with this piece, badge or not....

 

With all the winning products you guys produce you really shouldn't be bummed. I think most of the guys here are looking for function over form, and the piece you added is really a form thing (with the badge). I am a less is more guy (always looking to save an oz.) I was looking at the RS factory piece, but this is now an option for me.

I have given a "Rennline" wish list to my wife already this week, will be adding this part as well.......

 

+1 I would use it.

 

I'd use this piece with or without the badge. I'd have to see it in situ to decide which I like better, but probably the debadged version. I also think the CF would look better if offset with something CF in the airbox area (like the Fabspeed piece, but I have heard it doesn't hold the stock Mahle very well).

 

I am more of a form follows function kinda guy. I personally dont care for it.

 

Yeah, those 1/4" M stickers are a bit much, unlike those conservative colors and tiny logos you see on Porsches.

 

I sorta like it. No plans to switch from stock but if I did I'd go with this part, and keep the blingerrific plate, but with no inscription.

 

+993. That is an accomplishment right there.

 

What I don't get are the holes in the plate. Why are there holes? Their presence reinforces the fact that the plate is not needed.

To really pimp your engine bay, somebody needs to make that part in chrome, baby! (This is a joke. I hate chrome. Even my motorsound airbox inlet I hate.)

 

Rennline Guys,
While the "3.6" does nothing for me, the plate itself is fine and I like the fact that it can be customized.

I am putting Paul's kids through college, so it is nice to see you introducing new parts. I guess the new facility is paying off--especially for us.

BTW, thanks for building passenger side floor boards for the 993!

+another

rennline peeps: maybe consider a matte varnished (or etched) "rennline" on it? (very minimal & @ least i.d.'s the maker) & fwiw i do not mind my dead-pedal w/ your type/logo. maybe the unused plates would make nice bottle openers?
i'm waaay tired of badges too.

 

Any idea when you are going to have more in stock. I think a little carbon fiber would look good in my engine boot.

 

I just checked the shelf and we have one left from our last round of production. For some reason our inventory was off, that will be adjusted shortly. We should have more ready in a week or 2.
