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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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... ![]()
