Speck - post a pic or at least tell us what color your car is. I think it's subjective. For example, I think PissedPuppy's combo is badass, but that's because:
1. I love that blue
2. I love the blue/black combo
3. His car is "done right" overall IMO
But, this car, same color, cab instead of coupe, and different wheels; I don't think would look as good with the decals....
I have a guards red car with the same black lobsters as PP's car, but I don't have a tail. I'm not sure whether I would love the Carrera decal on my car. I can't picture it. I think it wouldn't look terrible, but I can't say for sure I'd love it. Some things I need to see before I can make a decision.
On the other hand, it's not a huge investment (couple hundred $ if I'm not mistaken). So you can always take it off if you don't like it and not be out too much $.

The Carrera decals look great. Definitely old school. I had aluminum look decals on my meteor gray 08 Cab. Got compliments frequently, often predicated by "I never would have thought to order that, but......"

Uh, not that I disagree about the statement on decals but those two cars are not the same color. One is Turquoise Blue (Tom's) for sure and I think the other is Mexico Blue. Side by side, in person, they are not very similar at all. Just sayin' b/c when you drop $5,500 for PTS . . .
For the record - I like both blues.

Thanks for the kind words Mulva, much appreciated!

I have the Carrera S decals on my white 997. I'm not sure I would ever have ordered the car that way, because they're not subtle but I really love the retro style and it differentiates the car. You'l notice that my car has a bit of a black and white theme going on with the black wheels. I even repainted the silver Carrera S decals black.
This is one of those things that you'll either love or hate.
Note that the shark fins are overlaid over the decals.

Yes, I have to do a double take when I see your avatar. Perhaps I should take one at the same angle
I've been debating what to do with the bolts. They're actually the default silver colored ones. I've thought about replacing them with the black type, but figured they'd just get chewed up.
