Oh geez I better shut up; I have one. Whoops.


Doggone it, I was going to jump in and say something similar. But, it would be "Semi Carrera".....:p

REAL Carreras were the ones that were the top of the heap.....in the 80s, Porsche was hurting and needed a boost so they threw the Carrera name under the bus.

Most people realize this and simply use the name on the sides of cars that deserve the name. The plain Jane 3.2s kind of don't......

As to the SC debate? Who cares? Call it what ya wants and go out and drive the thing....

uhh... ah, nevermind...:rolleyes:

Thanks all for the great responses.
I really like the silver but agree it looks better with the bright finish.
What about a different shade of red? A more suttle approach.
As for the wheels, I will definately keep the Fuchs but was thinking about polishing the petals.
Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.
I would go for a drive to think this through but it is (I almost hate to say this) raining. :)

I think the Carrera graphics are too overdone, especially if there is not much engine to back it up. JMHO

It shows you have your own identity and indiviadual thoughts.

I like the clean look.

Red with Silver stripes and a duck looks pretty good to me - but then I am biased.

You don't need silver brightwork or headlamp surrounds, just silver centred wheels. Forget black wheels, you can't see all the details of the wheel which is what makes Fuchs look unique and special. Light centres also "grow" the wheel. I have had died in the wool 911 guys ask me if these are 17 inch wheels - no, just 16s.

Flieger, can you tell me where I can get the front windshield Porsche decal? I have been looking everywhere for one but have not found one as good looking as the one on your 911. Thanks Meka

911-32, I just noticed you have the same front windshield Porsche decal as Flieger. Where are you guys finding these? I have looked everywhere for them. Can you please direct me to a site where I can purchase one of these? They look great. And I would assume it would help cut down on one glare, like a very large sun visor. Thanks Meka

Red with Silver and SC :)

The script on the side should be the color of the wheels as has been mentioned earlier. What I would like to suggest is a dark red for the script. I think the black looks best, but do as you will.

nameisbauer 05-22-2008 09:13 AM

I just had this file ready from my car, so I dropped my idea in the mix. Hard to show silver, but you get the jist(grey stripes).

Flieger 05-22-2008 09:34 AM

I do like light Fuchs centers. I would probably change the wheels on my car if I was doing it again.

I don't like the fully polished look. My favorite is silver petals with black background. RSR anodized.

nameisbauer 05-22-2008 09:38 AM

I agree, against the polished. If I can find RSR wheels at this angle I will put those on it. But I have this for now. "iroc" with black wheels.

Yes.
