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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
