SCWDP Badge Poll Part 2 - Added another choice due to input from crowd!

[Quicksilver]

Could you add an option to the poll for a logo that says says some thing like, "Super Carrera! ... Almost as good as Carrera!"?










Nomex undies activated!

Well, at the end of day 2 of ""THE poll", we are at a tie between 2 and 3. Please do not make me flip a coin!

I like number 2 & 3 but I voted for number 3 I don't like the colors of number 4. I am in for either # 2 or 3

More people like "Super Carrera" spelled out.

[SCWDP911]

skipdup, overall, I guess you're right!

#3 is good

Why not buy a real Carrera? You know, the 1984-1989 models?

Flak vest on, just had to chime in!

Hows the car with the new engine in it Mike?

Monday morning bump. Looks like the Super Carrera's are winning out on this one. I would not mind getting 2 different badges made up, but we would have to have preconfirmed orders for 40 units each.

Between #2 and #3, I would choose


THREE

Put me down for number 3.

A couple of quick questions:
First, will these be metal and if so, what kind and also cast, billet, or stamped? This is mostly just out of curiosity, but may effect my choice of design.

Second, will they include hardware to fasten them without modification or damage to the grill? (Not that I'd ever want to take off the badge and renounce my SCWDP status, its just hard to dominate the world when you're feeling bad about drilling holes in a 25+ year old car.)

BTW: Nice work on the new site. It looks good (from IE anyway).

UPDATE!

I placed a deposit today to have the prototype made. I hate to keep dragging this out, so for now, I have to play the majority rules here and at this point, it will be design #3. I will leave the poll up for the rest of today, but tomorrow, I need to get the final word to the badge maker. It will take from 3-6 weeks to get badges once the final design is in to them.


Bob Butler asked about construction. They are metal, and are stamped pieces with other finish work applied. I can get more details if anyone needs them.

As far as attachment, they typiclly come with a single post that is 3-4 inches long and allows easy through the grille attachment, which should not need any drilling. We are actually trying to work it out so that ours will be double post and spaced appropriately to be used as a replacement front hood badge - this was due special request earlier. For those using it on rear grille, the second post will hopefully be such that both will fit through the grille. This in the end, will be our determining factor for how we set the badge up. We want them to fit the grille first, the front badge mount second (if it can be done).

Thanks to all for voting. Hope one size will fit for all in the end!

"1978 - 1983" makes it look like the car died.

[Mitch Leland]

I'm a two guy too... for all of the above reasons for No. 2...

[SCWDP911]

In a way, after the SC's, it did...the SC is the perfect example of balance--the carrera's started the perpetual slide to comfort.

So I think it is definitely fitting.

HA HA HA! I do like that! I shopped Carreras before learning about SCs and when I did, I chose SC over Carrera for that exact reason .

Actually, I have no interest in newer Porsches and would own an even older and lighter one than my SC if I was mechanically adept enough to keep it running as a daily driver (the only reason I've ever owned sports cars was to drive them every day).

Got a tea tray though, no place for a badge (gotta keep the Porsche crest on my hood).

David, you could always glue to the back of the vette!

I hope to have a word on the verious stickers soon. I have a lot of stuff going on with the end of the quarter here. I will keep everyone posted once I have the info. Apparently my printer guy has been out of town for the Holiday's. The nerve...

Sold the C5 when I bought the SC. Big and porky, almost as fat as the newer Porsches, boring car below 125 or more (except for rocket lunches, which got boring also after 8000 miles and a $1400 set of tires). As exciting around town as a Jeep Grand Cherokee (and just as long), but VERY comfortable!.

SC's a totally different llittle animal, fun even when you're forced to toodle around town, short spurts to 45 max maybe, 'cause you can play with the gearbox, make all sorts of racket and pretend you're in race traffic under yellow, chompin' at the bit waitin' for the green ta fly!

Aaah, the simple pleasures of a basic little sports car

1.180" center to center.

Sorry it took me so long to post that little bit of info.

[SCWDP911]

Well, the guy from the badge company sent this to me today. The actual badge should look like this...
