hey guys - before I finish the clear coating and seal the deal, would appreciate some input on how this looks to someone who hasn't been staring at it all week .... Thanks! And no I don't own both of them but so far one is just enough!

I like it...
Is the Porsche logo actually a sticker covered up or is it faint intentionally?

Thanks GT3Stig - yes, the porsche badge is hand painted but ghosted out a bit as it looked to heavy with all the sparseness of the RS lines and white. also a small mod being Stuttgart replaced with Cape Town
- low res pics for upload but it looks a bit darker than pic. Hans clips go on tomorrow - also redish
Looking at your visor I'm getting some ideas too - how's the viz with a mirrored visor? Maybe in red too?

Hey Mike - love your purposeful red lady by the way - the Carrera is a few things ... 1. a tribute to the birth of the RS which had that as its decal 2. I think of all 911's as Carreras at root and 3. I've already got a massive GT3RS on my car so didn't figure it needed repeating

Mirrored Visor is simply tinted from the inside.. Like Sunglasses.. I've seen them in Red/Orange too.
I like the Silver Logo.
Some track maps may be cool. Post pics upon completion.

Thanks guys. yes the 911 logo and even the car's outline - cos it's all about the Gt3 as you know - ala the 991 logo were contenders, but I decided upfront to keep it clean and simple as the car's original livery is so had to go with only 3 things ie th C decal, PORSCHE on front and the ghosted Badge although track map and 911 in the middle would have worked there too! Hmmm .... Seems I may have to do my open face too for any track visitors ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Will post up picks next week after a weekend of curing and polish

On another issue, Mike those smaller stickers you run - are they track or race sponsors tht you have to include? I like how you've placed them and as I have to put similar on but I don't want the car to look like a circus, I'm just working out where to put those. Luckily most of the badge/logos I need to put on for regional races are white background so will look smaller on my car but as there are about 6 Race sponsors it is a bit of a mission. and it's not feasible to remove/replace each month. Any ideas welcome - I'm thinking of running the along side sills to keep them close to the edge?

I like stickers below the mirror. Matches well with your door number. If u put by the side sills it mite look loss with the gt3rs moniker. U can also do custom vinyl( the ones in black were custom). Mike
