Matt, I vote for the black graphs!

Jay, how did you paste the Carrera graphs on Matt's car? I have a red 70 911 project that I'm stalled with... I'm thinking of painting the RS front and rear bumpers white and going with the white Carrera stripes... The bumpers would get the red stripe package... end result... a mixed up rs clone package of red and white... sounds fun but can't decide!! Your art work would really help.

I must disagree with the general feeling and say no graphics. Your car is super clean looking and I feel that adding the Carrera script would just add too much. But it is so easy to make the change why dont you go for it?

That's why we call him "The Elder". Excellent point Jim!

I agree with Souk on this one, no side script.

Has more of a substantive look.

But the other posts are valid, you can always remove if you do, and later decide they're not for you.

No script. The car is super clean without. A slight tint on the widows would look good tho.

The script is a very close second....

Forget the script, add a 3.6. Wave bye-bye to Souk and Bernie!

I think the script looks pretty good on your car.

No stripe...

I beg to disagree with those who poo-poo the side graphics.

99.998% of people will not know that you have an SC vs a Carrera. What they will notice is that you have a unique sense of cool retro style. I bet that you will get a lot more people taking an interest in your car and passing you a thumbs up on the highway.

Remember, these cars are not museum pieces. You bought it to drive and enjoy. It's your baby!

I always wonder why the folks who complain about non-correct side stripes are OK with non-correct wheels or non-correct tails or lights.

I say go for it.

If you want to do it, do it. You should do things to your car for yourself, not based on other people's opinion. It's reversible anyway.

where is the best place to get Carrera side graphics, they are offered on Ebay for $30 or so for just the two sides. Has anyone used these and if so are they decent quality?

Seriously, you want silver graphics not red - just take a look at your wheels for a second.
