Found out today that while the shop was working on my 914-6, one of the flunky's remove & destoyed my sticker from the door-jam. I had made it Perfectly Clear that this sticker was not to be touched and to be protected during the restoration. But now it's gone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I was told that you can get them from Porsche? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I know that George sells replicas, but how do you get them perforated? Pissed & confused in Tampa, T.C. |

Tod, the circles are partially in cut from the front leaving the backer intact; once this is adhered to the vehicle the pressure applied to remove it would cause the circles to split and effectively destroy the label.
as I mentioned earlier, it's a simple and effective way to safeguard against tampering. No doubt when the idiot who removed the one from T.C.'s car it came off in bits. As far as the legality of just printing the labels with the circles in I have no idea. Obviously someone is doing it because AA and others sell them. I would assume, from dealing with trademarks, copyrights and so on everyday there would be permission needed. The way both factories involved here go after identity infringement I would think twice about starting to run off materials without their consent. Big, horrible, massive lawsuits ensue. One of my competitors up here is in court due to unwittingly running fake product posters; the logo holder caught wind and both he and his customer are getting friendly with lawyers now m. |
