I added Carrera graphics and painted the stock calipers on my 993 red.

Looks good but the sticker looks a bit too high.

That is funny. I posted on RL and another P-car forum and no one else commented about the height. Here is a pic of a period car with the same decal that I used a template. The decals were definitely higher on the flanks back than they are now - such as on the GT3 RS. However the decal kit is cheap and easy to install so I will re-do it if I continue to get such feedback.

You're correct in that period pics show the stripe just about as high as it sits on your 993. Those cars don't have side skirts like yours does so that might explain why it looked a bit higher. We're all about looks here anyway, who cares about historical significance.

True, true. I lost my head there for a second.

Where did you get the graphics? Do you have a digital file?
