Carrera Side Graphics?
Im on the fence with my decision on the "carrera" side graphics. Below is a picture of my car, should I add them or leave them off?

I'd put them on in a heartbeat. Your car is begging for them. Maybe someone will photoshop them on to help you decide.
P.S. You might want to consider painting the spokes of your fuchs white as an added touch.

If you are on the fence I would say don't. When you wake up one morning and say "Gotta have 'um" Then do it. Personally I like the look of the stickers on your car.

Looks great. Give 'em a try. You can always take them off. Though the longer I keep mine on the better I like them.

I vote blue carrera graphics, with Fuch wheels and the centers painted the same blue color.

Unfortuneatly the wheels are not Fuchs, though I would really love a set of 8s and 9s. They are BBS wheels I painted black, I dont think blue would look right on the multi spoke wheels.
I think seeing the picture of them that Jack photoshopped really sold me on them. Is the install tough?

The black does look slick. Especially since all the trim on the car is black. I dunno if the blue stipes would work?
 Here it is with blue wheels too. A lot better....but more work of course.

Jay I think you are right from a color stand point. I like the black because its a theme on my car. Black trim everywhere, black interior (once I get that carpet kit!) and a black seat with white lettering. I think I would consider the blue look or even the red look more if I had Fuchs.

Matt--maybe black,a nd have some window tint added. I'd say go with white headlight trim rings too.

How do you put the Carrera graphics on the pics? I have attached shot of my car and have another thread going on Chiffon Carrera and I would be interested in seeing what it looks like on my car. Thanks
