Default 993 RSR Racecar build -- playing with graphics

I guess I'd call this first round of graphics. Not sure if it'll keep'm or not. They're more or less the result of playing around with the vinyl cutter and application methods. Action pics are from Mid-O.

Looks good. I liked it without any graphics too.

Car looks awesome & the base color is superb. My first thought on the graphics was that it was just missing the "Nickelodeon" script.... I love vibrant base color cars with architectural graphics; the BASF BMW M1 ProCar is a good example.

The color is incredible. Not a fan of the splash graphics. I think all you need is contrasting "sponsor" logos or text to make it complete. If ou have a better than a average budget, contact VBD Graphics in VA.

I am red-green color blind and the graphics do not show up very well for me. 8% of your viewing public is in the same boat. Actually, my vision defect is pretty minor, so others with worse defect would probably not even see the graphics.

I positively love the contrast of the green and orange. The splash I'm not too sure of, a bit 'tuner' imo ..... in the early 90's every UK tuning mag was full of Ford Fiesta's and Escorts covered in splats ;-)

How about copying the 917 Psychedelic organic shapes in orange and stay true to Porsche legacy?

Who is your sponsor, a paint-ball gun manufacturer?

Love the base color. Graphics are just OK. You can do better with your next attempt. Car deserves better. Orange is a great accent color. Awesome car!

Is that signal green? Awesome color car. I don't mind the splash graphics maybe if they were the same color blue as your number "85" they would be more pronounced.

Joe - love the car. Maybe graphics that accentuate the lines/fenders?

PM sent re. front suspension setup.
