Default Tequipment roll cage / harness bar stickers?

I’m looking for replacement stickers for my brushed stainless Tequipment bar. I have both 996 and 997 versions which have the same stickers. They’re prone to damage and both of mine are in rough shape.

Wondering if anyone knows if replacements are available?

Haven’t been able to find a source.

I did a quick search and came up empty. Maybe look into getting them custom made. If you need a source, just go on Etsy and have one of the sticker sellers make you a set. If it were me, I'd just straight edge tape off the lower section and then cut away the damaged area. It will not say Tequipment any longer but the Porsche logo will be there and look perfect.

Yeah dealer was also a no go.

Cutting there is a good idea but it’s gotta say Tequipment for me lol. I mocked one up and will look into printing.

I’m curious about the difference between the 996 and 997 versions, part numbers?

My dad owned a sign company for years. If you can get a quality image of it I'm sure you could find a shop to make it. Back in my highschool boy racer days I had him make so many different stickers and stripes that I was always changing out. Shouldn't be too hard but it all depends on the quality of the image they have to work with

997 version is called the "Pan Americana" and provides for a bit more room behind the seats. The main crossbar is relocated to the rear section versus the 996 version which is at the front, directly behind the seats.



997 bar

996 bar

Thanks all for the suggestions. I'm a designer so I mocked up a sticker in illustrator based on measurements from my 996 cage. Pretty simple after cleaning up the logo – free versions you can find online are very poorly done.

Here's where I landed. Should have proofs in a week or so.

Great job, now get ready for vector file conversion charge, setup charge, minimum run 5 for $500 for 500 for $500. Or try stickermonkey, stickermule.

I have some matte white polyester laser labels 8.5x11 adhesive backed, if you have a decent laser printer might get the job done. I can put a couple sheets in the mail.

Here for the finished product!

Also curious if I could pay you to create a version that said RSS or Road Sport Supply in the same font? I am looking to finish my bar in the same Tequipment finish but a put an oem
plus flair.

That's a fun idea. Happy to help with that. I'll follow up after I get some samples in.

Here's the first round of samples from Sticker Mule. These are their "rectangle stickers" which are printed on vinyl. I'm not thrilled with the print quality. It's a bit blurrier than I'd like around the small details.

I'm doing another round of their "labels" which are printed on BOPP. I think these will be a bit nicer. Will report back.
