Default Red or Black S

What is people opinion on red or black S? Shout out to Bob Z for sourcing all the emblems for me. 🙏

I also want to show the progress of my flat bottom CF steering wheel.

Everything else is completed in 2x2 CF pattern. It’s going to be a long winter lol

My car is red so in that case, Black. For any other color, I think Red is cool.

Actually - I took off all of the chrome lettering and replaced with just a centered "Porsche" Thinking of changing it to "Poorshe" just for fun.

I had the same dilemma. I eventually did all black letters. But adding the red S would be nice if you have the red brake calipers

poorsche would make ppl do a double take for sure lol

my car currently only have Porsche in the back , model designation delete. So I’m doing the opposite lol

my car is white so the red would definitely pop. But I also like the uniformity. Might go with red then change later.

yes I have red calipers, that’s exactly why I bought the red S along the black , so I can decide which flows better. I have clear & red tails too so I can change the look.

Would look great with red S and red tails.

If you go clear tails then chrome might look better - especially with chrome exhaust tips.

Black exhaust tips with red tails and black lettering + Red S would be a clean combo too.

There really is no "bad" combination on your car.

Want something different? Switch out the "S" in PORSCHE with the RED S

I have all black on a white C2s. With black tips. I went with “Carrera S”
I think the red S stops your eye and breaks up the look to much for me.
Your car looks great! All very awesome mods. Love CF
Remember...it’s what YOU like. Enjoy!

I did the "4S" on my 2011 with red PlastiDip and it lasted for several years in four seasons driving looking good. Even if yo do not want to do this as a permanent solution it is a $6.00 test (per color) to see how it would look. And - more imposrtantly, if you do not like it just peels off with no residue what so ever. PlastiDip at Lowes

That might look cool but if so I would have someone like Eric at Bumperplugs painted the "S" from PORSCHE so the font remains the same. I have never seen that done but it there is a first time for everything!

You cannot go wrong with the Black or Red "S" so as you said try the Red one and if you change your mind swapping it with the Black one will take just a minute.

PS - I am glad I was able to get you what you needed!
