Well, I had to try - now I know. I kind of like the Carrera script - when it was placed below the doors... The other I probably want to take of...And for all of you hateing this - i did not destroy the car - It's removeable..

 

I was wondering what that would look like, I have a black 996 also. Thanks for being the guinea pig!

 

I think the carrera lettering is a cool, old school/new school look but i think in this instance however, the contrast is a little too stark and somewhat pasty looking. I think it might be cool to go with maybe a dark gray to give it a sophisticated and understated look. see attached comp ...

 

yes - grey was much better !!!

 

Yup. I agree. Grey looks a lot better!

 

I dont mind the white...I think it would look cleaner with a 5-10 spoke rim though

 

I would go even darker than the photoshop, but don't think it looks bad on either example

 

Black on black might look cool

 

+1 on a dark gray lettering or even 2 shades lighter than black, sort of "ghosted"-
IMHO the white is too much contrast with the rest of the car all black. Nothing to tie it in. For example, a black GT3 with orange lettering ties it in with orange mirrors and wheels.

nice of you to post pics and share the results.

 

The darker grey is a more elegant and classic look, with the White, first thought is way too flamboyant.

To each his own though.

 

The gray does look better, but not really a fan.

 

I think the gray looks very nice. Old school / New School Sophistication

 

Black matte on black would look great.

 

If you're going for the "race" look, I'd suggest removing the window tint and re-applying the Carrera decals above the side skirts.
