So my T just landed at the port in Jacksonville, FL this morning and it's time for me to make a decision. While I like the stock side decal on the T, I really want the full width PORSCHE decal with red letters. The rest of the decal color I'm undecided on. Either Agate Grey or Black. My car is Chalk with satin black wheels. Normally I'd just say black stripes and be done with it, but with all the dark grey accents (mirrors, badges, etc) I'm thinking Agate Grey might be a better option. I've actually never seen a Carrera T in person, so it's making my decision a little harder. I'd like to go ahead and get the decals on order if possible. Below is a photoshopped image of the two options. Any opinions on which color might look better? Thanks!
I have a black T coming and I'm too swapping out the decals. I'm going with something different but considered the stripes you're planning to use. If it was my car, I'd do something similar to the ghosted stripes in the Singer DLS models with the script in Agate and the stripes in a slightly darker silver. It would highlight the script, which you seem to want to do, without introducing a color that doesn't feature anywhere else on the car.
Wilder, I am doing the red letters to highlight some of the other red accents on the car. The badges on the wheels, the red tail lights, red seat belts, and red guages.
I think I like the Grey with the Red better to be honest... grey over Chalk is a good look. Have you thought about just Red Outline "PORSCHE" and not filled in letters? Like a little bit more of a larger letter with the outline in red and the inside of letter just the chalk coming through? and then grey stripe?

Well, I mocked up your idea in Photoshop and it looks great! Dang... More decisions!

This is great of course. The red letters and the red interior details matching. Especially since the red callipers are not available. Just keep it with agathe grey and not black.
