Poll: To sticker or not to sticker (Carrera side badge)

A week or so ago a post was made showing the below. Have always liked the Carrera script on the sides of P cars since way back. Got me thinking about doing the same to my 996 Cab. So, thought a poll might be in order...

The Seal Grey Metallic is mine, the yellow cab has the Carrera script like I am considering. Note that I have added AeroKit II side skirts and a TechArt rear spoiler since the picture below was taken. Will post pics of it later today.

Get the GT3 MKII sides to spice it up instead.

Skirts were installed yesterday... Will get pics later, below are the ones I put on. What do the GT3 MKII side skirts look like?



Am also considering getting a pair of the Aerokit I GT Trims like the below. They are made for up to '01 (mine is an '02) but from looking at them modifying them to fit an '02+ should not be that difficult.

You can see the front spoiler/lip pretty well in the above.







Critique away!

I say dont do it... but If you have your heart set for it then I would do the extra bits in the front and rear like the RS in black:

The only way to pull off that look is with a Black sticker and wheels with black centers. I'd say only a yellow, green, orange or white car it looks good becauase you have a nice contrast between a light color car and black accent sticker....might not play as well with your darker color car. I'd say keep it clean.

The skirts came out great, now save up for some HRE C20's or BBS racing wheels and coilovers.
