..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.

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!

I vote white.

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.

I recommend either silver or black.

Silver

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.

it's gud to be the king....

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!!!

maby a pic of your ars end would help us decide :)

black.

Here is my guards red with black.

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!" ;)

48 inches....but who's counting....?

HMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................... ....I think I might as well do the white, better to do what I want and regret making my wife happy all her life...about a stripe ! Like said if it is too obnoxious I can fix it

That's the beauty of vinyl.....it's like a temporary tatoo.....

Lemme know what color you decide on....I have most in stock.

kilodawg.....your car looks great.
And that's what I'd vote for....something a little different.
I think they also made a gold stripe that would look good as well.

Hey mikez, how easy/hard is the script to install? I bought a ducktail and I too am thinking about adding the script this spring. (Black script on a white car.)

The silver looks great with the silver painted Fuchs to match. I think the brighter colors look great IF the fuchs are then color-keyed (for example like the white RS replica cars with bright blue script and blue painted fuchs). If you keep your Fuchs black a black script might be better.

On the duck...easy....check my website there are instructions.

The side scripts require a bit of practice....I've sent members replacements more than a few times. If you take your time and measure and have GOOD CLEAN surface your fine.

Just put some on my 911 today!!

Thanks for the kind words Art.

Here's a shot I just got from a friend today. From our last club drive of 2006 with my son putting on his best attempt at a Jack Olsen face.

kilodawg,

I'm sure you've mentioned it before but what color is your car?

So what is the correct placement of the Carrera script? I see some that are about 4" off the rockers and others that are an inch or so.

Correct is aligning them with the bumpers height....or whatever YOU like...it's YOUR car.

Kurt,

Kiln red (Ziegelrot) an '83 and '84 years only color.

Very-understated, especially when the Porsche isn't a Carrera.:)

Your right....it's a Super Carrera ;)

Please lets not get into whats not what..as most are not. There are only so many GTO's GT40S, R models and RSR's. So lets not go there.
Mine is 75 S, all numbers match, Have the Porsche birth Certificate and I can put everything back for the Prune who is looking for a pedagreed S should that day come..Untill that day its mine, and I will present my car anyway I want...thankyou

+1. Enjoy it, it is your car.

As a designer, if I were to have a red car, I'd go darker or lighter a few shades of red and try that out. Try photoshopping some colors, and give it a shot. It would look very understated and modern.
