Anyone else get banned from the G8X section for making fun of its looks?

Thanks bro! My current spot has a traditional 3-car garage. I’ll miss it.

It has been a very bad work week (…two barricaded suspects in a 3 day period) and this incident in our station lobby yesterday night really made it that much worse.

The suspect situations across Cali and NYC that I frequent often has truly hit new levels of I haven’t seen shit like this since the 90’s. People have gotten so brazen and stupid it creates a lot more hostile environments than should be.

Then law enforcement takes the blame meanwhile you have citizens saying f the police get if there’s a situation on your block, guess who you’re calling first.

Thanks bro! It truly has been hellish. I’m glad it’s over for a few days. I need to post it in the cop thread.

That is awful, glad you have a few days off to hopefully try and chill. Feel really bad for that poor deputy that she managed to get their gun. I’m sure they are in hell both personally and professionally.

He’s a really good dude and a really good partner. This will be an automatic internal affairs investigation and the department will try to hang him out to dry.

Exactly what I was afraid of.

I’ll keep you guys posted on that. I’ll post the updates in the cop thread so it doesn’t litter this thread with that subject matter.

Sedan_Clan Jesus, what a mess. Sorry to hear that, hope it goes well for him.

Another update:


Here are the 3D printed pre-production samples. Once fitment is confirmed, these, along with the “4.5” badge, will be sent to the fabrication shop for the production pieces to be crafted out of aluminum and the script polished or machined.

More and more it seems like we’re living in Gotham. Starting to wonder if a gubernatorial candidate in California could win in a guaranteed pardon campaign. Shoot home invaders, pardon. Forcibly remove squatters and non-paying tenants, pardon. Forcibly stop shoplifters, pardon. Police do what used to be their job, pardon! Probably not, but I can imagine. Only needs to put enough fear into the hearts and minds of the bad and crazy to return order.

One can only hope Steve Garvey maintains some traction in California as we approach November. This state is in horrible shape.

I assume you & Sedan know the big picture?

Law enforcement is hamstrung at doing their jobs due to a class of *elites* pushing various policies that conform to their idealistic vision of the world... which bears no semblance to reality.

As a result, the average man suffers.
If we truly live in a democracy, which I do not believe so (primary reason being that the political system of a state does not supersede the cyclical nature of man), then all of our present ailments pertaining to crime, what leads to it, and how to prevent it would resolve, coming about naturally as a result of a free market of ideas.

I think we all know law enforcement is completely hamstrung. I am gathering your point is we don't live in a democracy. We live in a republic. Be glad we do. If we were in a true democracy, one of the prior mobs would have usurped complete control by now and we'd be in a dictatorship.

Absolutely this!

Update:

We managed to remove the badge by masking the surrounding area really well prior to prying it off. The badge comes off in two pieces.

We test fit the badges, but will need to make a slight adjustment to the upper portion of the badge. My buddy also did an additional 3D scan to adjust badge sizing.

Seeing them in photos, really like 3.0 S variant.

Damn that looks good

I like it more than I thought I would. I was beginning to lean toward the centered, “3.0”, but after today I’m set on the “3.0 S” script for sure.

Thanks bro. I can’t wait to see the actual finished product.

I do have unfortunate news. My car is at the dealership having the windshield replaced due to the known window molding issue. Yesterday as I was driving into Cali, I stopped to clean off bugs and noticed my molding was smearing. I immediately knew what was going on having read the RennList thread(s) about it. My dealer got me in the next day, so I’m now in a Macan loaner. Here are pics of what the melting molding looks like (…photos taken from RennList). Mine wasn’t nearly as bad as what’s depicted in the photos, but it does melt and rub away as soon as you apply any pressure. Apparently the adhesive and the molding material cause a chemical reaction, so Porsche changed the adhesive.
