I had my detailer remove PORSCHE and they centered GT4 (and made it red, to match other red bits around), so at least there are fewer areas for track junk to lodge.

Unfortunately its not that easy. All vinyl plotters require the file to be in vector format (.dwg, .ai, .eps) Photoshop will only export out you a rasterized image even after you cut it out. You still need to vectorize it. Live trace in Illustrator will do ok but it wont be a crisp line even if its a very high res file. More than likely you just need someone to retrace it in Illustrator. Not hard, just need to spend the time to do it.

ok, i've got a file (its not vector so needs to be converted)... if i have some made, in various colors... would there be interest in these (at cost... )

Need to get a test print done first and ensure it looks good.

I'm in! Black! Are you thinking of the logo being a tad bit larger than the stock badge?

Nice! Just a tip, you can find someone to do the vectorization on Fiverr for $5. For a simple logo like this, shouldnt be an issue.

I dunno, i haven't really thought about it that far. And I'm away from the car the rest of the week. I'll print up some mock ups and see this weekend. I like the OEM sizing on my RS, but the space for the decal on the GT4 I think is larger.

Maybe it's just the italics and the way the T transitions into the 4 that tricks the eye
