You guys are having too much fun
Thanks Jim for your input. The pics look great and I love the black wheels. Makes her look tough. I am now thinking matt black Carrera script with all black Fuchs. I think the fog lights have to go at some point but that will be later.
Thanks again all.

Glad you like. Have fun!


When I removed my Fog lights, I noticed that I used them all the time, and my headlights were DULL. I got new lenses, upgraded the bulbs and relay and it is good now. I would suggest doing that at the same time if the fogs come off(unless you have bright headlights with fogs on)

Look up Paul Rodelo's car. I think that's the color scheme he had on his turbo. Pretty sure this is it:

I find that the rubber trim strip above the bolt-on sills of these later cars interferes with the Carrera script, sort of like having a big, thick underline. Not that it looks bad, just "pops" more on the earlier cars without the trim strip.

That's a slick looking windshield script. I wonder if it's from this outfit:

The reason I put mine on was to block the bright sun. The 101 east in the morning is brutal. Makes driving to the Hangover Run or Festival of Speed a real PITA.

I have no blue tinting on the top of the windshield and my sun visors are MIA/deleted after stripping my car to fighting weight. The PORSCHE letters look great, IMHO. I am very happy with them.

I got them at graphicspackages.com I had the white background from Dave Bouzaglou at TRE so I just got the PORSCHE script online.

* Note to moderators and Wayne: I will delete the other website reference if you are unhappy about it. Pelican does not sell them, so I figured that you would be OK as they are not in competition.
