What do ya think....color accent change....
 
Got bored and changed out the blue accented wheels with some full faced red Fuchs.

Now should I change out the Carrera stripe or leave it as is....OR loose it all together?

For comparison.

...with that stripe, I like the "original" wheels better.

I think you need a negative "porsche" script rather than the carrera.

Trust Me 08-07-2004 11:09 AM

I like the red wheels. I know you did not ask our opinion on this but have you tried a "duck" tail? May look good with the red wheels and the total "rs" look. Just my opinion.

Jack Olsen 08-07-2004 11:39 AM

Red "Porsche" text, positive or negative.

sammyg2 08-07-2004 11:47 AM

The red and blue combination don't do it for me.
If I were you (and you're glad I'm not) I'd lose one or the other.

nostatic 08-07-2004 11:58 AM

if you put a big 'merikun flag on the hood, the red and blue works. Or maybe a Firebird. Hmm....

Silveresrty911S 08-07-2004 01:15 PM

Agreed, use either the red "Porsche" or "Carerra" script with those rims.

GettinHeadStuds 08-07-2004 01:39 PM

Those red wheels look hot.

svonkampen 08-07-2004 01:54 PM

very patriotic........

car would look good in a parade

(too many colors)

xlr8 08-07-2004 02:07 PM

Paint centercaps and/or lugnuts red to match wheels...
Red stripe, or darker 'flag' blue for patriotic look.

soup dragon 08-07-2004 02:15 PM

Prefer the red wheels,maybe try red script (are they expensive?) otherwise lose the script.

JeremyD 08-07-2004 03:10 PM

Hey, I know a place you can get scripts in different colors!

Joe Bob 08-07-2004 03:21 PM

Different colored Side Scripts...to me are CHEAP...%^B

I have a duck tail....it's sitting in the garage....I just changed it out for the 3.6 style one. It will go back on soon when I get bored again.

Trust Me 08-07-2004 04:32 PM

Once again, I like the red wheels. Go by what you like. If everyone had a car that looked exactly like Jack's his would be the norm. Make your own statement. How many people would vote for standard black wheels with factory finish. I bet most. Seems to be a trend thing. In the same lines with getting rid of the factory tail. A trend. The day will come when every one will be buying those tails back.
I am now off my soap box.
Jack O. I just used your car as an example. Great car!

The Chef 08-07-2004 04:39 PM

Red carrera stripe. Duck tail. I find that the 3.8 tail makes the car looked too much for the street. My 2 cents since you asked.

Yeah - I know you do - I've sent a couple people your way... I would try it with the red stripes and lose the 3.8 tail - looks like rice.

Yellowbird RS 08-08-2004 10:02 AM

red stripes and (duck tail)

Joeaksa 08-08-2004 10:12 AM

Mikey,

You get bored every few minutes so put the ducktail back on!

Only thing is that with the blue stripes you do not stand out so much. With red wheels and red sticker on the car it would be like waving a flag at the cops or CHIPs and we all know that you always drive the speed limit... :)

Joe Bob 08-08-2004 10:17 AM

OK...played with different designs and sizes.....how about NOW????

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

Joe Bob 08-08-2004 10:35 AM

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....

sammyg2 08-08-2004 10:41 AM

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.

Joe Bob 08-08-2004 01:00 PM

HMMM, went with the skinny stripe to get away from the fat stripe.....I guess "I" could do like Carrera SC or sumthin like dat.....dunno...not a lot of hot rodded cabs....except for Tyson's "Scruffy".....

I just wanna confuse the local cops a bit.....

JeremyD 08-08-2004 02:47 PM

I like that better

dougcl 08-08-2004 03:38 PM

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

Trust Me 08-08-2004 03:59 PM

WOW! Tell him what you really think.

jmz 08-08-2004 04:05 PM

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.

Jay

Joe Bob 08-08-2004 04:34 PM

Yeah....I figure the next side script will just say "RICE DICKHEAD"....

Joe Bob 08-08-2004 04:46 PM

Adam 08-08-2004 04:47 PM

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.

Trust Me 08-08-2004 04:51 PM

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.

ScottKelly911 08-08-2004 05:24 PM

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.

JeremyD 08-08-2004 05:36 PM

Hey Rice Dickhead for President!

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....

:rolleyes:

nostatic 08-08-2004 06:50 PM

can you put bunny ears on the roll bar?

Joe Bob 08-08-2004 06:55 PM

Photo shop it....fresh out.....

nostatic 08-08-2004 06:56 PM

but you're going to get another pair before Autofest, right? It just wouldn't be the same without them...

Joe Bob 08-08-2004 06:57 PM

Bring a set....it will be a club thing,,,,,
