Congrats on midnight blue!

The 1973 2.7L RS is such an amazing car!

No decals here, unless you are taking factory decals on the new GT3 RS. Those are amazing.

I like it on the older Porsches, but not a 996 - that base Carrera with 17" rims and the decals reminds me of GM putting decals on a crappy car in hopes that people will think it's "sporty".

Oooooo nasty!

996 with decals can look good, but it's the full race set, rather than the Carrera decal





Probably a little excessive for road use!

I doubt that. Someone else said that if it says GT3 RS, that's fine, but Carrera isn't. Does anyone have an opinion as to why it can but on my but a Carrera can't? Or is it the HP that makes the difference as to stickers on a car? I do appreciate all feedback, but LOOKS wise, what is different from a GT3 RS decal? Maybe I should take them off. Thanks guys.

I like it on your car. Looks ok with that color. Do what you like not what others like unless you are selling it.

Looks good on that yellow 80's Carrera, too.

Here is your answer. (BTW, don't take them off if you like them. You will never get unanimity on anything on this forum - except maybe about the type of oil to use -)

If you like the stickers, keep em. If you want the other guys to like your stickers, hmmm. Did you have the stickers made at a vinly shop or did you buy ready to apply? I would think you could put anything on the side of the car using the same script. maybe "m3 killa"! Green sticker on my black sheep might be cool.

I think the stickers look fine on your car.

Why are the lights sometimes yellow on race cars? Fog lamps? Halogen?
