Can someone photochop the Carrera script for me?
 
I am trying to figure out if I want to put the Carrera script decal on the side of my Cab in either black, grey or not at all. If I do the grey script it will be with 16 inch Fuchs in grey. This would be really helpful as I cannot find a Cab in the search function with it on in my color. Thanks again :)

Hey Nick,

My two cents having gone that route. For your car with grey fuchs I'd use the grey script. The script is easy to remove so if you don't adjust to it, off it goes. First, I'd do the wheels though and that way you get to see it without.

Personally, I like to match the script to the wheels. In your case I'd probably only go black if I kept the wheels that way. Black centers with black script would look low keyed and understated, whereas grey wheels with grey script is a definite standout. Depends on your taste and personality. I went the silver route, though I never planned on it initially. I just think it was my best option in the long run.

I was looking at previous posts and was planning on getting them from you once I made my decision :)

I am leaning towards silver with silver wheels if someone can chop them on my car so I can make a decision.........

Yea, I am leaning towards the look of your car. I really like its appeal. I just am uncertain how it would look on my rosewood/ruby red color. I might even have the wheels color matched to the body, not sure yet, getting some ideas though. I am trying to get everything together before the Mt Dora Porsche fest. The wife and I are going both days.

kilodawg 04-23-2006 04:40 PM

I'll be there too!

I'd really like to see your car with black wheel centers and a black stripe. I think it would bring out the richness of the color.

My red was difficult for me to figure out. When I got my car it came with a poor attempt at body color wheels and while they work on some colors they didn't on mine. Same for black they did nothing for the color of the car. Too dark and lifeless. In my case black wasn't even original. From the factory the wheels were painted platinum metallic to match the interior...Uh no thanks.

So I went to silver somewhat accidentally as I was refinishing the wheels and stripped the paint the silver looked okay. Then I tried the stripe and it's still on...even though I'm still not really sure about it.

Here is one with grey wheels and stripe.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1145840636.jpg

I'm thinking gray or silver/aluminum. I think black doesn't have enough contrast.

BTW if it were my car, I'd lower the rear too. Sorry, I know you didn't ask.

AFC-911 04-23-2006 08:33 PM

This should be very interesting!!! I'm very curious as to what other ideas you're cooking up! :D

Yes, the rear will be lowered tonight and I am leaning towards the silver stripe with silver wheels now.......

I really like the way it looks :)

Thanks for the chop, it really helped alot.

Told ya I'd take care of her ;)

I have a Carrera tail on the way also and the interior is being re-done this week in black with maroon piping :)

BTW, thank you for selling me such a sweetheart of a Cab. I owe you a bunch :)

unclenick 04-25-2006 04:04 PM

I am sticking with a black script with the tail, ft lip and black wheels. Thanks guys!

How is the script attached? How does it "easily" come off?

Joe Bob 04-25-2006 05:11 PM

Two part vinyl with a light adhesive background....a heat gun softens it and you peel it off....

Very nice ride!

I know it's off topic but why did you move your 928? Was there something you didn't like about the ride (not the car per se)? I posted on the 928 forum a little while ago but I'm not certain you saw it.

Thanks,

And again, Uber-sweet ride!!

The 928 was a sweet ride but my heart always has been with the 911. I have always wanted a Cab and this fell into my lap and could not turn it down :)

TyFenn 04-25-2006 05:29 PM

Wish a cab (or a blond) would fall into my lap - hahahaa.

Paulporsche 04-25-2006 07:20 PM

MikeZ,

What do you mean by "2 part vinyl"?

Joe Bob 04-25-2006 07:24 PM

Vinyl in between two sheets of paper, one opaque and the other see thru....

The heavy opaque one peels off and the sticky sided vinyl is applied to the car, squeegeed flat and then the see thru paper is peeled off .... leaving the vinyl....
