Carrera Side Scripts Help!!!
 
I always love the look of the Carrera side scripts on an SC.
My car is Chiffon White which really looks almost too classy. I think some subtly Carrera scripts will give it a little edge and besides I like how it looks, and i can change them or take em off when think it's time.

1 :So Far I am thinking, - light green similar to sea foam green/pea green.
2: white - i like the white
3: black- not a big fan to prominent.

Any thoughts and opinions, - just a quick photoshop mockup, i know the spacing isnt correct. Any suggestions. I am leaning towards the light green

Green or black.

Nice looking car.

Cheers

#3 but #1 is close 2nd.

dugsud 11-08-2007 11:23 PM

I think Carrera scripts look best when they match the wheel centres so number one as the wheels are or three if you re-paint the centres black.

Subtle is good......here's mine on a recent trip to Corsica.....;)

I like the black best; but the green is very subtle and looks good too.

Nice photoshop job!

I like #1 - sporty yet understated.
I've been wondering about something like this for my car, but have been struggling with the color (Zinn Metallic). I think the off-shade colors are difficult to work with, but IMHO you've nailed it.

shbop 11-09-2007 03:56 AM

That's a tuff choice in your color. I was going with #3, but the more I looked at your car, #1 grew on me.

1,

Joe Bob 11-09-2007 05:12 AM

Silver would be nice as well.....or Carrera in an outline....I also do 911SC in side scripts....

Paulporsche 11-09-2007 05:23 AM

I like the subtleness of either the white or the silver. Both work w/ your wheels.

axl911 11-09-2007 05:51 AM

Here's silver on white. In sunlight, the silver script almost blends into the paint. Kinda cool.

Jon,

I would not put them on you car. It looks just right the way it is..

jwernquist 11-09-2007 07:10 AM

Thanks everyone for all the tips... I think now after seeing the silver i am torn. I'm either going with the green or silver.

MikeZ I will be emailing you in a little bit.

Thanks again for everyones input!

Drago 11-09-2007 07:15 AM

I like #1.

I'll also be calling Mike, except I'm going with the early PORSCHE script in white most likely, on a '69 coupe in pastel blau.

twobone 11-09-2007 07:56 AM

dugsud - your car is drop dead gorgeous!
 
:eek:

Color matched wheels. So I went with black to complement the bumpers.

Its an sc right? Maybe just "Porsche" then....

Put a piece of the white vinyl on your car, I don't think it will look as bold as your photo seems. I think white on chiffon white would be nice.

mkaraoglan 11-09-2007 10:52 AM

agree. same color vinyl as car would be nice and subtle.

wachuko 11-09-2007 11:18 AM

I have a set in Silver that I bought from MikeZ... and decided I am going to go with Black instead...

Let me know if you want them.

Brillo 11-09-2007 11:27 AM

#1.

Mike, do you have a pic of what the 911SC graphic looks like? TIA

joe payne 11-09-2007 01:53 PM

how about tan.

Zeke 11-09-2007 02:04 PM

I've been trying to get MikeZ to get this style in his collection. I like something about it better.

JMatta 11-09-2007 02:09 PM

I, too, prefer the green tint. What color is the interior of the car? I feel your side script should compliment the entire package, not just the exterior.

jwernquist 11-09-2007 06:45 PM

Jmatta the interior is Linen Leather, and black.

Wow thanks for all the pictures and thoughts you guys! Some beautiful cars.

jwernquist 11-09-2007 06:48 PM

Milt I do like that script alot.. Jeez you guys aren't making this easy! :)

#1 and then #3.

Wish I had the guts to put a burgundy one on my black cab (with a burgungy interior)..;)

jwernquist 11-09-2007 08:47 PM

Wicked the way I look at it is : 50$ and it comes off? Why the hell now.

Personally I think burgundy would like kick ass on a black car. Try it out for a few months, if you don't like it pull the script off.

Paulporsche 11-10-2007 05:17 AM

Can you find a vinyl to match the linen? Maybe a pale off white?

Joe Bob 11-10-2007 05:47 AM

I need to look some more for finished instalation pics....but here's the 911SC scripts OFF the car. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1194706054.jpg
