Porsche side script?

[samourai71]

Is it ok to put a Porsche side script on a 85 Carrera?
It seems those scripts were meant for earlier models
I wouldn't want to mix different eras.

it shouldn't matter as long as you like it.

I did it (cross over) on my 86. I know its not period correct but I just like to have a different look and I intend to put on a duck so I guess it would complement it further.

There are no rules...whatever you think looks good...Tim

Period incorrect, but I like the duck/decal combo.

The factory did it, so no reason you can't...

If you like it, do it. I liked it...

I just put a script on the side of my 85....looks good to me. Like others have said, if you like it, do it. Scripts supplied by Mike Z - aka JoeBob.

ps. Mike, I'll send you some better pics when I'm able.

BTW - I heard a story once that Porsche was watching a race when one of his cars passed by. He overheard someone ask if it was an Alfa. He supposedly dictated that from then on every race car would have the name prominently displayed on the sides. It became a production car option after that. Or so I heard

Were any 911's shipped/sold simply with the Porsche side strip or was it just the Carrera model?

[rattlsnak]

Definitely looks better on the older cars. The Carrera script looks better on the newer models.

I have one old one (1966) and one new one... Both have the Porsche script, and to my eyes, that's just how they should be...

Do whatever suits you, it's a question of personal preference.

Between 67 and 73, the so-called 'positive scripts' were offered as a factory option and also available through the spare parts catalogue. Negative scripts were introduced with the G Models.
