Guards red was the overdone fashion "LOOK AT ME! I HAVE A PORSCHE!" color of the 80s.
IMO, it's like what the "Carrera " side script is to 2010. ;)

Those who get it think your car is cool. Those who don't will think you're a poseur....
IMO. ;)

I agree the car is more IROC

Clean is cool....

Just opinions, of course, but I would backdate the front and rear of that car in a heartbeat, and then add the script; either way, I bet you remove the script, not having rockers. Otherwise leave it as is, as the script may bring the sides 'up' to an extent visually. Maybe the gold is best for the script if at all, as in a previous post. I firmly believe your car has way too much bumper/spoiler goin' on, like many cars. Beautiful overall, no doubt.....

Good timing on this thread. I just finished putting on one side of the script on my project car..

One man's meat is another's poison , of course!
The script was originally placed there for what reason? Marketing? Now , if you desire a tribute look then it's appropriate . If you want your car to stand out amongst the tributes , then perhaps dare to be different? Revel in the glorious green expanse.

As we know , the owner can decide whether the car looks better with a "bra" or not :)
Maybe I should get a script? Young kid the other day walks past and says to mum "Look! A Ferrari!" Even though mine's green! Why are there no green Ferraris?

I'd go with the Carrera stripes in gold with matching wheel centers. Very period and I think they would elevate the entire look of the car to another level.

See if you can mentally morph these two images.....

I hope you took the time to educate that young kid! Porsche's aren't found in a massive pileup on a Japanese highway.

I decided on the Carrera script mainly because it's a little taller - and it breaks the expanse a little more than the plane PORSCHE script. I was torn between the two - but felt it needed something

Beautiful!

Had my 911 over at the race shop today in preparation to start a brake upgrade. Seeing it in the bright lighting I'm starting to have second thoughts about the script... this green metallic is such a hard color to photograph accurately, but these pics capture it well.

Having some fun with my Mac.

If you already have the script...just put it on. Worst case scenario, you don't like it and you remove it.

SO much better as is.

BTW, what is that yellow thing in the background? A Merak?

Yellow car is a Bora - the Merak didn't have the full glass IIRC.

I really like the idea of the gold fuchs with the gold script. Sans gold fuchs, I say sans script...

2nd favorite short hood on the site now...I cant stop looking at it.

I'd go silver or white....

Hmmm....I do like it without the stripe but I'd have to "RSR" the wheels to make it work as the silver centers overpower the look.

Thanks for the 'shop! :)

Welcome Jack. I'm thinking the same way.

Absolutely STUNNING car! I don't think you could go wrong either way!

BTW, is it a sportomatic? I only see two pedals.

At first I thought no, but looing closer, it does appear the clutch pedal is MIA. or stuck on the floor.. Looks like the carpet is slit for it...

what he said

Ok, Thanks to this thread, I've gone minimalist and taken my script OFF! Thanks to John for getting this one going. Even my 11yo daughter likes the new look.

Next, RSR finish on the wheels.

hi, work your mac magic on the o.p.s car..we;re waiting . regards, be

I wish I could. iPhoto has a simple (idiot proof) tool that lets you remove blemishes. It worked to erase the script but I can't cut and paste or add anything. That would take something like photoshop. I can turn a wrench, not a mouse.

No script, I like the minimalist look..... can't you tell?
:D

An observation:
I suspect from the pattern of responses that many Americans lack the "embarrassment gland" found in most Europeans, many Canadians and some Australians.

Yep I just checked , the pregenual anterior cingulate cortex circuit is lighting up downunder.

How Embarrassing: Researchers Pinpoint Self-Consciousness in the Brain: Scientific American

I guess I missed where Americans invented Carrera sidescript and Scuderia shields. I would throw in something that Aussies invented but darned if I can think of oneSmileWavy

Going to leave the script off for now (after seeing these two side by side) :cool: ...

Go for it! Your car would be a great candidate.

Green (car) - for the money
Gold (scrip) - for the honeys!

Go for it!! Would look great.

Good call! IMO, the script belongs on the cars that are, you know, Carreras. As in the factory calls them that.

what do you want?
Do it.

Just checking on opinions on Carrera stripes on my yellow Carrera ??
Photoshop help would be GREAT !!
#1 Yes or No ??
#2 Do I need to remove stone guards ?? Worried the paint under the guards is not the same color as who knows how long the stone guards have been on !!
#3 Already have the Carrera stripe. It has been shrunk to fit more on just the door area.

Merry Christmas, Bill
