Paint the Fuchs black. Lose the tail, the rollbar, the muffler and the stripe. Change the rear taillights back to stock.

OH..that helps a lot.....and while I'm at it...remove the LSD, the 3.6 engine, go back to 15x6 and 7 inch Fuchs, loose the Recaro seats, the bigger t-bars, adjustable Konis....etc, etc....

Much better, but the stripe looks too skinny and I'm not sure about the RS.

Just plain ole Carrera or Porsche might be better IMO.
I vote for either a stock carrera tail (1st choice) or duck tail.
Course iffn I wasn't sober my opinion might be different.

You have horrible taste and all of your stuff looks awful. You're probably a really fun guy though.

That car's got enough "junk in the trunk" that you can pull off whatever look you like. That new side-script is pretty cool but "PORSCHE" still has my vote.

I personally liked the ducktail better, but that RS wing is growing on me. It suits the low front end pretty well.

Like you said, not a lot of hot-rod cabs around.

If you keep the big wing, then try other styles of script, but if you go back to the duck, I'd try standard red "Carrera" script. Should look great.

That looks good! Still like the red rims though. What about a black Carrera sticker. I would love to drive that car with that engine. Fun, fun, hall @ss, and have fun.

Mike, I like the Red wheels and red script you put on there, however I do think the script is a little on the skinny side and a little too high up on the door. bring it down to about an inch above the door sill and it would look really nice. just my opinion.

I was trying to keep the script line,,,,in line with the bumpers...that's why I went that high. That's the beauty of experimentation....you can play with it.....

Once in band camp....I pulled a ten pound booger outta mah nose....mah freakin' head collapsed.....thank God for reverse osmosis....
