Hi Ed,
great car.
I wonder if you would tell me which kind of tail you have installed.

Sorry guys. I'm in the other camp. Debadge as much as possible! If the design of the car looks cool, no label is needed. Legislation requires too much ugly labeling such as "unleaded fuel only," and shift patterns on gear shift knobs or worse yet on the dash such as the old Jeeps had. Go, not show. Good design, not text. IMHO.

All Porsche people already know it's a Carrera or a SC so why spoil the lines with a sign.Also don't like the black headlight rims.

You need to break up that white expanse and the "Carrera" script does it beautifully!

only works if you have front impact bellows....
no bellows=no script.

Huh? The '73 Carrera RS did not have impact bumpers and looked awesome with the "Carrera" script....

It's your car, do what you like and don't worry what others think. It's vinyl, pull it off when you get tired of it!

Although not usually a fan of black headlight surrounds, in this case I think it works beautifully with the colour/bumper combo.

I like the black stripe on the bumpers with the graphic. I am thinking about removing the trim pieces on the sides below the Carrera graphic.

for your consideration

I have had the Carrera Scrip decals for over a year, still waiting to make a finial decision on to install or not. The black rear fender protectors are making me unsure if they will work together. The fender protectors have been on for a few decades and I scared to remove them as I'm sure the paint under them will be a different color.

Just think the black scrip will look great on the yellow.

Any opinions on this ??

This is what happened to me. Missmatched paint underneath and some paint removed when I peeled the stone gaurds off. I ended up abandoning the script idea and replacing with new stone guards.

The script provides a more sporting character. I like the script on light/bright colors, and even more if that car has a duc tail and RSR styles wheels. "No" on Reds, deep blues, dark greens, etc.
