I sent a pair of replacements out this morning via USPS Priority Mail....

Sounds like you got great service on the decals.

The red wheels look a little "bulky" in my opinion, but maybe red anodized would calm that down and look real nice. Still, nice work, and if you like it then keep on going!

Paul571.....The color is Meteor Grey Metallic with slightly more silver/pewter added to the mix. The painter is a friend of mine and cut me a deal, but he routinely charges $3,500 to $4,500 for a similar job, depending on body condition, prep work, etc.

THANK YOU again Mike!!....Cant wait to get the script on the car correctlySmileWavy

Craig, good on you for trying something a little different and thinking outside the square. I think the red looks great, particulalrly from 3/4 rear where it picks up the reflector strip.

The best thing is that it is so easy to change the look of the Fuchs without spending a shed full of coin or without having to have a huge wealth of knowledge and skill. I recently changed my Fuchs to the RSR paddle-look and am very happy with the results (just make sure you use quality paints and prepare well - my first attempt wasn't a roaring success). All up it probably cost me about $60.

In a year or so I am going to change my script and wheel colours, but have yet to decide what colour, but I plan to make it somethinga little different too.

I really like the Meteor Grey with the red scripts and centers. It's a striking sports-purpose look. Bold move and good thinking.

The fun about vinyl? You can change it.....go for broke, do crazy stuff. I did 15 changes in 8 years, I even color matched the wheels. Rattle can Krylon and aircraft stripper for the wheels is an easy change....

The wife and kids still think I'm nuts.....

Mike - I was very impressed with everything you included with the decal kit.

I ended up putting the silhouette Porsche on the back glass of my 1500 pickup - we decorated the rear door of Porsche shop with another decal - put one on a ATV and another on a scooter that is used at Road Atlanta.
Nice work!!

Can someone photoshop the carrera scrip on my car being thinking about adding them on. Thank in advancehttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1246628269.jpg

I think the combination looks great. Get those new decals on and drive proudly!

With that body and wheel combo.....black. Unless you want to go wild, then Gulf Orange......and match the wheels.

Wow that came out nice! Looking forward to seeing it in person.

This might be a bit much for you, but if you're going loud anyways... consider a windshield banner in solid matching red across the top of the windshield. In my opinion that would bring a little (a lot) more red to the top of the car and tie it all together.

Also- what color is your fan?

Here is a photoshop quicky of what I'm talking about...

That's it!!!

Excellent idea on the WS banner. It brings the colors together.

That really does look pretty cool....Racey, but very cool and then again, I guess the script is racey in itself...Thanks for the great idea! SmileWavy

Nothing personal but I much prefer the original look. Never could understand the script idea or the coloured wheels. Don"t see other exotics ie Ferrari, Aston Martin etc with "scripts". Personal preference I know.

Paul, my fan is gloss black. Believe me, I strongly considered having the fan painted red to match while I was having the wheels painted....But, when I tire of the red and put the black Fuchs back on, the gloss black will be more suitable. SmileWavy

Here is a picture of my engine now. The red wires help compliment the other red accents enough I think.....

What's cool is that the banner is actually functional and will keep the sun out of your eyes.

That is one tidy engine compartment!
