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?

...with that stripe, I like the "original" wheels better.
I think you need a negative "porsche" script rather than the carrera.

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.

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. |

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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 A
