Default What do you think of my new “Carrera” script?

I installed this last night and it was super easy! Ordered from the guy in euros for $99 shipped. My car is metallic black, so it looks black at night and dark grey/bronze in the sun. I installed flat black decals. It was a little difficult to get a good photo of it, so I attached a few. I looked all over online and couldn’t find anyone that had done black on mat for an example. This is another make busy project for the quarantine in Seattle ;-)

PERFECT!

Love the stealth approach.

I like the stealth look as well, but I'm afraid you put them on incorrectly. They should be reversed. The C on Carrera needs to be at the door edge on each side. And long portion of the stripe needs to be at the rear fender. ×

man, I hope not! From what I read the sticker is supposed to be centered between the wheel wells, not the door. Which they are. But, if I screwed them up it isn’t an expensive mistake and I can always redo. Thanks for the insight!

Based on almost every online picture I can find, Ilko is correct.

I do like the stealth look, regardless!

Nice look. Many P.D.s have the black cruisers with very dark grey P O L I C E down the side.
Reminds me of that.

Looks like you guys are correct. The people that I hang out with will never know the difference! One of these days, I’ll redo.

No one will know except the eagle-eyes on this board.

I'd leave them as-is unless it really bothers you.

With that said, I wish my mistakes were as easy/cheap to fix!

It looks great the way it is, reverse of not.
Usually not a fan of these decals since the color contrast is a bit too loud for me, but this stealth application looks like right and very tasteful. Good job, well done!

I like the stealth look too, here’s mine.

So subtle that hardly anyone notices. Except for my wife, when she gave me a ride to pick it up after getting paint protection film plus the decals. It was parked on the street in the morning sunshine and when we’re a block away, she says “what the hell is THAT??”. However I’m happy to say that it has grown on her.

Looks great - I also have a black 993 and am now thinking this would be a nice add once I deal with fixing up the paint. I like both Bigwood and Brian's decals. Any other designs out there from members on this board?

Looks good but I do have one stupid question. Do you put this decal over or under the stone guards?

over the stone guards. I kind of like the stealth look but i do like the small square lettering like bcameron59 has.
