I mounted the two Karmann badges I received today. I mounted one on each front fender between the first and second stakes. It looks great to me.

Fairly subtle looking , but not too suble, just tasteful.

Ditto on the Karmann badges. I too received two badges and two stickers.
Took all of 5 weeks, maybe a bit more, so to those still waiting, be patient, they will arrive

Peace

Mine arrived today! Took about three weeks. Badges and stickers.

I'm thinking of mounting a badge on each of the front side panels near the top like Ferrari does with it's badges on the Carrozzeria Scagietti.

What do you guys think?

That would be too high on the fender. Place the Karmann badges close to the strakes. They look nice mounted there.

Hey, on your Ferrari...it has a Pininfarina badge on the front fender below and forward of the Ferrari logo. My Cadillac Allante has a pininfarina badge on the front fenders just behind the wheel wells. The upscale cars always have the specialty house badge that assembled the car on the car....

Got mine! Two badges and two of the large decals and a short little note. I told them this was my 3rd Karmann car (Porsche 914, VW Corrado, Crossfire). Took a little over 4 weeks. Now I just got to figure out where to use them, although the decal under the wing is an obvious choice.

I always thought the Pininfarina badge was on the back drivers quarter panel in front of the rear tire on the Ferrari. On some models it was on both sides as I recall.

It depends on the Ferrari model.

I saw pics on page one. Man, you'd think that if they can build nice cars, they should be able to create some very high quality badges. They look CHEAP!! I'll bet they do have nice ones, just aren't willing to let those go for free though.

The Ferrari badge I like is the prancing horse. It is Ferrari to me. The most revered marque in the automotive world. At least in my opinion.

I, too, kept getting an error message when I tried the "Contact Us" form in English. I clicked over to the German version, filled in the blanks by hopping between the English and German version, and clicked"Abscend". Lo and behold I got back what I think was a confirmation in German. Crossing my fingers that whoever reads the message is an English speaker (and reader!).

I've been having the same problems with my message not going through so I tried it on the German site also and it went right through. Thanks for the idea.
