Thinking of putting my name on my 930...
2 questions.
1. What do think of putting one's name on their car? May look even more like a race car, but is it tacky/conceited? My car is driven on the street, primarily to get to and from track events. It is close to becoming unstreetable. May do club racing ('06 at earliest; Would be GT1). 2. Where would you put the name. I was thinking (B. Bishop) above the door, but have also seen them on the door just under driver's window. I'd use vinyl graphics so it could easily be removed.

I would put it in either of those two places. On a street car probably on the quarter glass... However it could be perceived as tacky, so I would also make it subtle... Maybe a darker color...

Does the car already have race graphics on it? If not, I'd go low-key.

I have my numbers for PCA events on the front windshield, top rt corner (pass side) and in the rear quarters. Car isn't very subtle as I have a large carbon fiber banana wing, front splitter etc, boxed rockers etc.

My car has its 'less than subtle' days, too.

Bailey, How are you? I'd love to see your car at some point! Feel free to e-mail me and stop by at some point. My shop is getting renovated now but I will have a 914-6 GT in to get some restoration work done.
Cheers, James
