Put a guard rail at the top of that retaining wall.
I not partial to the green? I don't care for the font? It's a beautiful car as is; leave it alone and go cut the grass or something? Nice photochop job though.

I have to admit...the first time I saw the "real" Carrera font... I thought "Oh Great.... another example of Cheezy 70s logos, I cant believe that Porsche got sucked into that too"
Then I learned more about that particular classic car, 73 RS and slowly my mind changed and now I like it. The duck fin helps too. Remember the 70s? I was just a kid...but like every other car had some cheezy logo or stickers on it... like the auto manufacturers just had to differentiate a Le Car from an AMC Pacer. |

Mike, that thing needs some tack-on flares and red 993 wheels. You know, to match that other...car.

Couldn't be gayer. Well, hot pink lettering might do it.

Yeah, uh...NO!
The only reason I think we think the original Carrera font is 'kewl' is because it goes with the times. It never was cool in it's time but has only become so as a retro thing. It puts a car in a specific era, fine. You will have a hard time making it look decent apart from it's history methinks... What're you anyway, some closet ricer, needs a bunch 'o decals and some coffee cans hanging out the back (joking, joking, joking)...

Buy them, sell them

Do you have a vinyl cutter or something, Mike?
 Looks a lot better with those wheels, too.
