Default A Big Dilemma...

Well, I'm stumped. On one hand I want to keep the current orange look, on the other - I really like the black...

In a way I'm a bit tired of the current look, so I was thinking of keeing the wheels black, repainting the mirrors and roll bar, and getting rid of the orange decals. I was thinking of going with yellow RS decals to complement the brakes and interior bits.

On the other hand, GT3RS orange is pure sex!

So, what does the 964 forum think?

Here's a couple of pics...

And since we haven't had a poll for a while, let's vote people!

I guess your "package" arrived . . . congrats! They look great!

I vote black with yellow highlights . . . not that I didn't like the orange; and voted that way the last time this question came up, but those wells are sex enough!

Speedline centers in Orange would be wicked!!

Your car's color combo is pretty unique.

Black on black is sexy...but there are other Rennlisters with the same combo why be the same?

+1 on the orange centres for the Speedies.... Great looking "package" by the way!! All black would make your car too similar to a lot of others out there. In fact I would repaint the calipers to orange as well.

Always loved the look of your car. Looks newer somehow with the paint scheme. But I'd go for the orange look. The all black look just reminds me too much of the ricers out here in sunny CA.

But either way it will look great.

Keep the most awesome 964 orange as she was supposed to be.

Sell me those Speed lines for $200 more than you paid.

I'd paint the centers of those rims orange.

Since you're going to the paint shop, go different. Maybe a nice viper green and paint the mirrors at the same time. Then redo the windscreen grafx.

Wow! Almost a 50/50 split...

I'm heading out to get the tires installed and hopefully I'll have a couple of shots of the car with the black centers later on.

I was planning on ditching the windshield banner either way, trying for a more understated look.

My only concern with the orange centers is that it might be a little much with the polished barrels...

Well if that's the case...orange won't be understated. I would personally go with the original Speedline look....silver.

Clean and simple. You don't need to colour or dress up a set of Speedlines.

If you want understated, go with flat black or graphite decals.
