Default Porsche flags

Want to beautify the garage a bit with a vertical Porsche flag (3' x 5' or slightly larger is fine), but have only found two so far.

This one from a company called Donnanica (shady website... not very confident about using them):


And this one from JPFlags (seemingly related to FabFlags, which sells just about everything but Porsche):


I prefer the crest lettering on the Donnanica one, but there's a bizarre yellow outline around one of the red bars (could be just the photo reproduction) and the website leaves a lot to be desired.

The JP one isn't so good looking, but the site looks a bit more legit.

This is a bit of a silly question (worse case scenario I'm off 50 or so bucks), but has anyone bought from either of these companies? Also, If you know other sources, please let me know!

Cheers

No. Worst case scenario is they use your contact details and credit card # to steal your identitiy and cause you 2+ years of headache trying to get your life back together.

Still going to be the guinea pig?

No. Worst case scenario is I die while ordering, due to anxiety-induced stroke or a myriad of other equally likely causes such as spontaneous human combustion, comet crash, etc.

However, I'm brave (usually synonymous with foolish) and very determined to get that flag, even if it costs me my life, financial or biological.

I got a white flag off Ebay last year. They said it was from a dealership that never used it. Not sure about that, but it looks sweet when the garage door opens and the flag sways a bit in the air. It's like a big "Welcome Home!" sign to the car.

Talking The brave shall overcome

Ended up going with the folks at JPFlags, and they delivered: ordered on March 15th, and received the flag on March 19th, via DHL Express, all the way from Argentina (not kidding). 45 bucks, shipping included.

The flag itself is pretty decent, and a perfect complement to an otherwise lowly garage:

Excellent. Looks like it might be a good addition to the one I have.

Looks good. However, spend 5 minutes and iron the flag. It will look much better.

+1

looks like they packaged it in a CD case!

Use a thin cloth barrier between the iron and the flag so as not to ruin the print.

I lkie it and am in the process of looking for one myslef in white.
