Default Red, Black or Silver Raised Lettering?

What do ya think? I have a Polar Silver S4 and I'm making my Christmas list. I like the raised lettering offered at Jager Engineering, but can't decide what would look best. I like the silver, but not sure about what it would look like since it's a brushed finish. Please let me know what you think. If you have the letters, let me know how you like them.

Go with Black.
You dont need any flashy colors to spoil the back of the car.

Thanks Adam, Watercooler (Mike) did it first: http://www.928s4.ca. He was very helpful and his work was the inspiration. Like you, I absolutely could not live with my stock sticker once I had seen his

Heinrich, i actually like that. I think all one color in silver or red wouldnt look right. Black is ok for a single color.

Decisions, decisions....I like Henrich's but also like the original lettering style (not the decal, but the raised type seen here http://www.jageng.com/ext_detail.htm). Seeing the black lettering on Jerry's gives me a better idea of how it will look. Btw, Tony, thanks for all the great info on your site!! I'm completing a timing belt, water pump, power steering pump change this week and your info has been invaluable (go see it if you've never been there). Any way I could get the startup sound for my desktop theme?

Thanks all!

Kind of funny how this works, but sometimes I think we all just seek change.

My shark (S4) came without an emblem when I first got it about five years ago. Within a year I added the 928S4 emblem. A definite improvement.

About half a year ago, I removed the emblem. A definite improvement.

Well, it's got red, black, and silver, so I present to you the trifecta you were looking for:

it says "4S" as in Carrera 4S??
if you can swap the the letters around it may make more sense , but from the looks of it you cant?
