Wow, I missed all the comments on here..

Yes I know alot does not like it or think its for them, but I had a vision and went for it. I do like the end result.. As far as the rollbar. Yes I want to paint that one as well, but when I went to paint I couldn't get it out. And leaving the car there for a week to have it painted was not an option. But I beileve that the rollbar will add that little extra.

I do have chrome lug nuts but I am wanting black ones (got the wrong one shipped to me)

As far as orange blending nice with silver.. I got a silver car just b/c i like a silver car. Although adding color to a silver car is extreamly difficult. I can't paint the wheels the body color since they were already silver.. Black has been done over and over again. So what can I do? I saw this picture and went for it. I had no idea how it would look on my car but if a GT3 RS is good enough, my Box is too..

I got the graphics from a local guy here in San Diego..


Porsche Stripes

I wanted the same as the GT3 RS but he has a lot of different options and you can write whatever you want..

Personally, I like it; it adds a very sport related theme to the car. This would be over the top for me personally (at my advanced age), but looks good for the younger set. If I didn't have two kids off to college soon, a green GT3RS would be in my garage. This, coming from a fella with a green 73 911 RS clone (with black graphics).

The only thing I would have done differently is space the lettering centered a bit more. It looks as though you wanted the "S" under the side vent, but that kind of threw the rest of the alignment off a bit.

Definitely different and not bad! However, I'd loose the little orange mini stripe spots on the front and rear of each side. Here's the difference. What do you think?

Bobiam,

What I would like to see is the center and spokes in orange and the ring in the silver color of the car. Could you photo-shop the rims to see what that would look like? I like the removal of the chin stripe, it now equals out with the back of the car.

Sorry for removing all your paint Cbenitah but it was just a little too much for my taste. I love photo-shop, just look at the money it saves and time.
