Default Tyre lettering Yes or No!

Hi guys, before I purchased my car I knew how I wanted it to look. One of the main visual mods I wanted to do is add tyre lettering.
It turns out 911jetta is a whizz with Photoshop so I got him to do his thing for me.
What are your thoughts?

I love it, but think it definately highlights the high suspension!

I would also say no. One thing I have seen that looks cool is a raised black lettering that enhances the tires markings, I don’t know how it was done but it looked cool.

I like it if it's subtle like the yellow "p zero" on the pirellis otherwise in the pic above it's too much. But if you like it go for it.

none of us have to drive it. Do you like it? Then do it. When you get tired of it, take it off. I personally think this makes it look like a japanese show car. but if thats what you are going for, then cool...

I put a ducktail on my 964. Some people hate it. I like it. and it weighs less. I'm at a point in life that I don't really care if other people like my car or not. Ok not totally true. I try not to care. :P

Ha... I'd want it with my name in that scuffed white lettering... or in the same font they use for Hoosier Tires... I kind of dig it. Go for it.. it's your car.

Your car do what you want. You might start a trend. I really like the mods Ive done to my car. Thats all that matters.
