..I am on the fence with Carrera script..
 
Its not that I cant make decisions..Its just I am not very artsy conscious talented.
I have a red car, black trim, duck tail,..problem- Go with loud "white carrera script, or safe "black" as most do. I like loud..seems like white on red would be right.
thanx for the input.:p
the car has R tail lts, IROC FG bumpers..this help?

Black. However, didn't Porsche use different shades of red? If so, and you're car is a darker shade of red, the black script could get lost in the color.

afterburn 549 01-04-2007 01:11 PM

it is darker the Guards red, more like blood ( VW Tornado to be specific)

I'm putting some black Carrera Scipts on my wine red 911 this weekend.

I'll post the results!

cygtoad 01-04-2007 01:23 PM

I vote white.

afterburn 549 01-04-2007 01:25 PM

I like the white, my wife says it will be too loud..like a race car or something....?? strange

How about tone on tone, dark red on red. Go to any sign shop, they will have about 10 different reds in vinyl to pick from.

Good luck.

Get ahold of MikeZ, bet he has photos of various ideas and could help. He can make them in any color or shade the last I heard.

Jim Richards 01-04-2007 02:33 PM

I recommend either silver or black.

Joe Bob 01-04-2007 02:51 PM

Silver

Jim Richards 01-04-2007 03:16 PM

Mike has spoken.

Always listen to the dancing banana.

When i think about mods to the appearance of the my car i always try to go understated. I tell my wife this and her reply is "Understated, ha your car is glowing red with a freakin airplane wing stuck on the back and you want to be understated."
My vote white.

Joe Bob 01-04-2007 03:18 PM

Listen to the wife or she'll be b****ing about it forever.
The wife wants a C4. I say yeah if I can backdate it long hood, white/red, red Fuchs. Geeeez. You should see the look I get. She doesn't like the White/Blue either. Too Flashy.

She said White/Black would be fine. Don't want to offend anyone, but a little too safe for me.

I have a Guards red as well and my wife says the same thing. If my car was white or silver then yes but red - no! Just my (well her) opinion. I sound like I'm so whipped!!!

Here is my guards red with black.

kilodawg 01-04-2007 06:40 PM

I'd go understated too.

To me the wheel color plays a role in this though. I prefer the wheels to compliment the stripe. I think a white stripe with black wheels could look a bit out of place; but hey they are easy enough to remove if you don't like the look.

I went with silver centers so I could do this...

LOL, only among us Porsche nuts can any S I X F O O T L O N G sticker declaring the model of the car to the world be considered "understated!" ;)
