Photoshop help - Carerra Side Scripts

1st, purist look away, but I find myself liking the carerra side script on many of the cars I see in the forums and was wondering if someone could photo shop a version with the script in white and one in black (without my stone guards) - also where are these available?

I've also been looking at the recent ride height thread and think mine is a bit high in front?

Thanks!
Mike

....."a bit high in front?" About an inch, anyway.

Sorry cant help with the photoshop but you can get the graphics from a fellow Pelican MikeZ and I think the name of his co. is No Bad Days or NBD graphics.

Just make sure you spell it right--Carrera, not Carerra.

My vote for the grey, without the stone guards. The polished rims look great with that color. I'm going to remove my stone guards and just redo the Carrera script. Thinking of staying with red and painting the inside rims in red. Here is a picture how I have it now.

You mean like this?

yes, fronts need to be lowered...

Those photoshopped scripts are a bit too low, I believe they should be about 2 inches higher.

Yes they look better a little higher up. I'm hoping I can lower the front-end ride height about an inch or so without messing with corner balance/alignment?

Thanks for the pics

Mike
