Default Carrera Graphics - keep 'em or remove 'em

Added the Carrera graphics this morning. I like them, but also like the clean look. Let me know what you guys think.







And for comparison...

No one is going to look at the graphics ... all eyes are drawn to those incredible wheels.

I like it without the graphics personally.

Doug and I are polar ends.

I actually quite like the graphics. However as a matter of taste differences I say the dark wheels are a bit much. Never been a fan of anything Techart.

Oh! And the ducktail rocks.

Always thought big name labels on cars as being over-the-top.

The car and it's shape says it all.

I think the graphics work with the overall theme of the car you have going. It works well with the ducktail and gives your 993 a backdated look. I'm not typically a fan of backdating a 993 but in this case it works well .

Funny you should ask... I was just considering a black one for my 95. Then I got to thinking about a solid dark blue (blue interior) along the bottom rocker panel. Think I'll get some vinyl and try that look first...or not. It's been white without anything but a RENNLIST decal on the window forever.

IMO, The graphics work very well on your car because of the ducktail and the black centered Techarts. I like it a lot.

Besides, if you like it, it doesn't matter what we think! You know what they say about opinions...

BTW, your ducktail inspited me to get one for my 993. Now I need to get it painted.

I agree with Jackb911.....graphics with the early ducktail is retro, but okay. IMHO however, not sure about the black rims....decidedly from the dark side. Looks really fast even when its not moving. Keep the Carrera Script.

To each his own... I think you make it work with the combination of the wheels and ducktail. The wheels have a Fuchs sort of look to them and the ducktail ties it together with the graphic. Looks great and interesting.... a modern Carrera look if you will.
