Just looking for ideas to personalize my car. Being an old school 911 guy, I tried on some longhood paint schemes. Thoughts on any of these? The first one is as it sits, the rest are just evolutions of ideas...

Of those, only #2.

911Jetta

may I humbly suggest...
- vinyl covered lights to visually reduce the size of the lights.
- black D-90s look great!
- black headlight trim rings (like old factory race cars)
- maybe a duck?!

Or #2 for a closer to stock look...

agreed .. 911Jetta is my favourite ... although I would skip the full black bonnett and just buy some racing stripe stickers to run over the full length of the bonnett, roof, and rear.

like this .... racing stripes .. but you can just ask him to change the colours. Pretty cheap also

no affiliation.

Yep

Yeah, I'm struggling with the two tone paint. LOVE it on a longhood, but with these cars it just emphasizes how short that hood is. Lord knows, none of us wants to emphasize our short hoods.

I'm at home now, but I'll try #2 in black (instead of silver) tomorrow AM from work. Stay tuned...

I was wondering what a black Design 90 would look like. I was thinking about painting mine black.

These aren't D90s, but it gives me an idea of what black wheels look like on my car...

agree, even then (imo) you should have 17"cups, sprayed to match body.

Have you considered a full paint job to get the car in a different colour that is easier to play with classic options ie. stripes, etc?

Having read his previous posts with his repair/maintenance budget problems, I know the answer to this question is NO!

Oracle

yes you're right, probably he has considered torching the car.. I meant painting flames..

Personally i don't think any of them look great the colour should remain complete or completely changed.

You could try this for something different...

Its only vinyl BTW with a basic silver car underneath

I think you're car looks great as it is. It just needs some 17 inch wheels to set it off. The D90s are good for originality but let the stance of the car down.
