Another "Carerra" decal photoshop/pic request - Black on Dark Blue

Could someone please photoshop a picture of a silver and a picture of a black Carrera side script onto my car? I'm not sure which to go with. If I had polished petals, silver would be a no brainer, but I don't, and with the black Carrera emblem on the engine decklid and black window trim, I'm thinking a black "stealth" look might be interesting. I've just never seen it.

Alternatively, if anyone has a pic of a black Carrera script on a dark blue car, I'd love to see it.

Any help out there?

Thanks in advance!

Andrew

Here you go. Just realized posting photos with an iPad was fixed - sweet.

newms and rob, thanks! I like it too, just trying to figure it all out. I've only had it a month. But life is short and decals and ducks are easily reversed. So let's have fun, right?

As you can see from this current pic, I'm not going to be doing much to it cosmetically any time soon. Want to rebuild the brakes and replace the brake and fuel lines.



Tony, thanks a lot for the pic. Are those 17s?

Yes those are Zuffenhaus 17s. I think they look too big on a long hood but just right for an short hood.

No pics but local friend has a black Carrera with medium charcoal script. Nice compromise between black and silver.

And Joe Bob is the source for the script. He's done the red script on my Carrera and even the script for the back of my trailer

I don't have black centers anymore but I sure like the silver against dark blue. I can't find a pic but a smoke/charcoal gray might work...it would be somewhat stealthy but more visible than black which, IMO would be all but invisible with your much darker Dark Blue color. Just my humble opinion.

BTW, you have a very special, stunning Carrera!

Jack, as you know, I love your car. I definitely think that if I get a sticker, the silver is the way to go.

Straight lettering better?

I have always been partial to the san serif lettering that's more common on 60's era cars. Would that be some sort of blasphemy on an 80's Carrera? I'm seriously asking, because I've considered the straight up lettering on my '89.
