Your thoughts... added a splash of red to my black cab
 
I was bored today so I wrapped my front lower OEM front lip in red. Thought it would accentuate the “splashes” of red I had already done. What do you guys think? (I rarely scrape, but it is easy enough to replace)

IMO, compliments the rear view of the dipped logo.

I had also wrapped the front grills, but I thought it was too much. I snapped this picture before I took it off both sides. What are your thoughts?

At some point I will add mirror covers (center only, not the entire mirror) in Guards Red as well. (white line below light is a reflection)

i'm a fan! do you have any red accents in the interior like seatbelts or gauges?
Also, where did you buy the red wrap? is it vinyl?

The front is OTT as are the wheels. I only like the door graphics and the "S" is OK on the deck but I would have done the "Carrera" too. Thankfully you stopped short of the headlight cleaning bezels ;)

Not my cup of tea.

Yep, it looks great! I like contrasts as such.

teflon_jones 10-14-2012 09:41 PM

It looks ok but you're really starting to go over the top. Next the mirrors, then what? Are you going to end up with an entirely guards red car? ;)

I'd get rid of the door script for sure as that's the part that's the most OTT.

Not my style. Clean car though.

I'm a fan of accents - I'd accent my car more but my wife (who is always right on issues of style) keeps me in check. With a black on black car less is more. That said, it's just my opinion but the red grilles and the "S" seem to transform the car from subtle and eye catching to costumey - not that the latter is bad if that is the look you want. One additional observation, the model designation matches the paint but then you have the red "S" so it sort of just looks like, from a distance, a perplexing "S" on the back of your car - why not "Carrera S" in all red? At any rate, if you like it, then does it really matter what I think?

Front lip is ok, too much with the grill though imo.

Lip is good. Grill not so much.

+1

JonasJordan1 10-15-2012 04:18 PM

maybe some red tint?

SlateC2S 10-15-2012 05:00 PM

Red lip echoes the S and and door lettering nicely - if you insist... but grills are too much though IMO.

krysFly 10-15-2012 05:01 PM

I like it, good stuff, just dont get too bored and add too much red :)
