When I bought Moby he had "Carrera S" decals. I wasn't sure I liked them, and they were removed when the dealer replaced the stone guards. When I saw Moby without decals he just didn't look right. The side profile looked way too plain. I think if the sills were black like on a 4S, the side profile would look better. So, I put the decals back on and have been happy with the result ever since.
Opinions are definitely polarized on this. Some love 'em. Some hate 'em. Each to their own. Thank dog we don't all drive cars that look identical! I love the way you can make the distinctive 911 shape look so different.
Here's Moby on vacation:
A while ago some posted a picture of a black car with white decals and I think that looked absolutely amazing.
When I purchased it I thought the first thing I would do is remove the decals as I'm not a big fan of decals but I left them and now can't imagine the car without them.
My vehicle had the option from the factory, side decals with matched color rims. I actually think it adds quite a bit to the look and doesn't look too boy racer. I also don't see a whole lot of vehicles with the option so it makes it a little more unique. I see dozens of Porsches a week and I've only run across a few with the decals.
Yes, the black CF on black is a winner. Glad you posted it as I was trying to decide what to do with some badging on a black car and think I'm going to have it carbon hydro-dipped or CF vinyl covered.
I wanted to add contrast to my black car, as well as tie in the red "S" on the rear badging. It also accentuates (IMHO) the red calipers.
As an earlier post mentioned, you can always remove the decal if you don't like or tire of it.
Dude, what are those wheels called and where were they from? They look like the BBS ones but I am looking for solid black like yours. and are they 19s or 20s?
To go on my 997.1CS
