Of course, the original Carrera S badge was black with Steel Grau 'S' but I couldn't agree more when it comes to 'the small bits' ..

JPP,
I have a 97 c4s , but my calipers are RED and I want to paint the S emblem, what will b a good color? Cause I don't think RED will look right, what you think?

JPP

Ahh, you know what I"m gonna tell you ... tie matches socks :-) Go red! and .. I'm assuming the Carrera badge is silver .. this will look awesome IMHO, but obviously, I'm not a 'conservative' source of opinion

I forgot to mention that my 4s is ARENA RED

Oh ... ah, got it .. I'm sparkin' now :-) Ok, well then, I think you're right, red wouldn't look right. I'll assume you want to keep your 'big red's' red and the Carrera badge black, ... and in that case, I'd go stock with the steel grey 'S' badge. On the Speedster, I was painting my calipers anyway and that's why I went with Speed Yellow calipers and then a matching 'S' badge on the back. Not for everybody, I know, but I really like the contrast. When the car was parked at the Mother's display at Rennsport .. a couple of guys came up and one says .. '.. not digging the yellow badge much ..' and the other guy stopped and pointed to the calipers and told his friend 'don't be a d**k, dude .. '

I love the yellow calipers with the yellow S

The prior owner of my 991.1 removed the PORSCHE and 911 Carrera S badges and replaced them with a large PORSCHE decal that looks like a retro 1960s version. I am replacing and have been looking for a personalized look rather than all the excess clutter or original. Pretty much everybody in the entire world knows its a Porsche. I really like your take on it so I am respectfully copying it...though with matte black Carrera and the scarlet S. Cheers!

Ok. I'm not even clear what that means or why replying to an old post is a problem. Genuinely interested so as not to "bump" something inadvertently in future. Thanks.

You can bump whatever thread you like.
If someone doesn’t like it they can unsubscribe to 12 year old threads

The thread is more than a decade old. The poster you responding to passed away recently and was well known and well liked.

In general, it's best to start a new thread. Do you have a 993? If so post some pictures and introduce yourself (in a new thread).

Some are best left alone.

Red S looks absolutely amazing.

PS: Why doesn't this car have the "split grill" spoiler? I thought all S models did.

Only S (2wd) cars had the split grill. 4s cars never did. Love them though and a lot of 4s owners change them out. The grill on this car has been painted to match as well- which is also pretty cool.
