Your and all Carbon Ironman are '88s and '88 Ironman have the coolest decals.
There is a thread of a BF member completely stripping the clear off a centurion carbon. It's a really cool read. As I recall he ordered new decals. Eventually RT purchased that same centurion carbon. He eventually was rid of it but that's a whole other story.
