Should I install 'Carrera' side script?

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.

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?

[pplkook]

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.
