Default Update: Ordered it. Thoughts on adding the red "S" to the back of the car?

I've seen some pictures, but not one in person. I saw a picture of a black car and it looked good with the red "S" and the red lights. And of course, it matches the calipers. My car is silver and I'm not sure how that would look. Possibly a bit blingy? Anybody got a picture to share of their silver car with a red "S"? Any thoughts in general guys? RJ

Update: Ordered the red "S" today. Will post a picture once I get it on. Thanks to those who commented and posted pictures. RJ

Search on my post from last year. Did the S in Arena Red on my Meteor Gray 997. AR is the color of my 993.

Pics are in my post and the black lettering and AR S look great. I can get you better pics by text if you’d like. PM me.

I Plastidipped mine on my Rube red metallic... I like it... a bit garish but it grew on me.

Suncoast has them ready to go:

Obviously not silver- but I have the red calipers of course and I really like this little touch to tie it together in the back

Where my 997 sleeps...

PlastiDipped the entire badge. I like the way it ties in with the rear lenses.

For a lighter colored 911, I'd go the whole 9 yards and do the entire Carrera S in red.
