Not a bad touch for a track day, but not a style I like on these for regular street driving

No problem, but I have to figure out how to mount the camper on the cab. Note, no white letter tires. That would be too much.

Here ya go. You can buy it with the lettering already done. LOL

I used to really like white letter tires on my cars in the 80's and 90's. Then it went away. Now, I think they look good again, but they are more racecar-ish.

Me too. “Uniroyal Tiger Paw”. Looked good back in the day. Today, not so much.

I think it really depends on the setup of your car

on a street/average 911: NO
on a GT3, a GT2, a modified racer look: I like them and could go either way.

pS: “Ricer” or “Ricey” i assume is a controversial term. I would think ‘Tuner’ or ‘Tuned’ is the right alternative

It’s sorta like putting mud flaps on a F/16 fighter jet.
