Graphics, No Graphics, Alternate Color Graphics?
 
Do I leave it alone, or put on graphics? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1352130302.jpg

The nice thing about graphics, they are not permanent. You can change them for a different look. The trend is subtle shades that don't do the 80s scream.

I would consider a dark Kelly green. Yellow would be too "John Deere"....black, boring....white would be a nice change.

Here's a photo close to mine with black.

I like the graphics, not to say your car is boring...quite the contrary; however, I liken it to the 'side diamonds' on my wife's engagement ring, while not needed, a nice accompaniment.

Beautiful automobile, Sir!

Some kind of graphic, the black does look good as it visually lowers the cars beltline.

I am a "less is more" kind of guy, so I find your car appealing just the way that it is. If I were to add anything, I would put black stripes on the bumpers alone. Only because that's what the factory did. They just removed the trim and bumperettes to save weight and covered the holes left behind with black tape.

I love the clean look of no graphics

Great thing is that you can always remove the graphics when you get tired of them...

So why not give them a try and remove them if you decide they are not for you... only a couple of hundred dollars down the drain if your remove them... no big deal.

BTW, car looks great just the way it is... But I also like how that other one looks with the black graphics...

Put me in the no graphics crowd! Very nice car as is !

Cheers Richard

+1

I voted for the light green option... but a darker green would look nice as well.

There's a reason every green 911 has 'em - they look great!

lower the front a little more and leave the graphics off.

A couple quick ideas...

Fantastic! Thanks! I'm leaning toward the darker green.

If you are thinking of something unique, here's a clever idea. Inverted scripts.

I SEEN WHAT I SAW | Werk Crew | Bob Tilton | Blog

Dave at TRE had some out-of-the-box ideas as well, including thin striped outlines of the traditional script.

Reiver 11-05-2012 12:16 PM

wonder what a silver or gunmetal would look like

NoYouRelax 11-05-2012 02:12 PM

Light green...subtle but makes a statement!

Jerome74911S 11-05-2012 02:21 PM

It's a beautiful car. No graphics is my vote - the car doesn't need them.

fitchesbass 11-05-2012 03:16 PM

I think it could look good. Could add some contrast to the side of the car to break up the lines a bit.

Either way its a win win.
