Default Cool or not cool.....that is the question?

There has been recent discussions about people badging and calling cars things they aren't. I took a little different approach. Since my car IS a 4S and since it is part of the "clubs" of both the PCA and R.list.......and since it is being set up for track use or a more "sporting" use if I may. I had these made up for the car, cool or not (be gentle, its been a long week, I'm tired and fragile ) that is my question.


Oh and they are reflective as well for follower's night time enjoyment

Your car, Your money, Your life. Whatever turns the wheels for you do it. I am modding my 95 C2 Cab with TT bumper, TT tail, side skirts and badging it just Carrera 2. and some people would say leave it alone, but it is your car. IMHO.

Not my taste, the less badging the better. But if you like it....that's all that matters.

And I have been running for a year without any, but just felt like a change and love that "club sport" name for some reason. Just attempting to be a little creative.

Too bright for me - sort of neon. What about "Club Sport" in the standard silver/grey color? But, if you like it - go with it.

I think solid letters would be better - more of a original look. Otherwise go for it.

Post a pic or two from farther away. As if I was walking past it in a parking lot, or was following you down the road. Up close, it looks a little to bright and busy, but no ones going to be that close.

I like it. The reflective lettering might be a bit bright and means attention would be drawn right to you by any trailing cops.

Not my cup of tea, but I must admit tastefully done.

Sometimes....less is more.

Font of the ClubSport and the 4S are not the same. I would maybe drop the 4S and leave the ClubSport by itself...if anything.

I think the question is: does "club sport" make a particular claims (like "turbo" or "ruf" or whatever)? Since there was a 993 RS Club Sport, I guess the answer is yes, which makes it uncool. But it doesn't scream UNCOOL or anything. Perhaps could be more subtle.

Maybe you can put some of those neon lights under your car too
