Recessed Porsche Crest

Not quite ready to post it, but have been working on a press die to recess the Porsche crest in sheet metal. I'll post the dies in the next week or so, but thought I'd show a little teaser in the meantime. On older Porsches like my 944, the crest sits on top of the sheet metal, but on newer cars like my 992, the crest is recessed into the metal like this. Hoping to incorporate this into a project for @71eh :angel:

In case that looks like just a picture of an actual car, here's the same part sitting on my bench. It's just scrap sheet metal, stamped with the crest recess, and spray painted red. :)
