Here's a shot at it, using a 3/4 front view photo of my car.
Use porsche typeface) and in slightly different shades

My designs #2 and #3 are essentially the standard version, but with different text (using the Porsche typeface) and in slightly different shades.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've been working on a few decal designs... let me know what you think!
(pls ignore the floor reflection, I did not bother adjusting it)
starting point
Seal Grey design 1
Seal Grey design 2
Seal Grey design 3
Seal Grey design 4
I did a couple of variations.
Seal Grey #4b (I think it might be a little "heavy" with the dark bumper, but I do like the stripe around the front)
Seal Grey #4c (same but without the bumper). Looks pretty good, but something needs to be done at the rear to tie in with the design ahead of the wheel... not sure what yet
Yeah I really like that one as well. I tried to integrate cues from the classic Porsche rear well decal, while also tying in the rear bumper vent horizontal slat design. Overall it has a retro feel to it yet is modern enough to suit the 996 I think. It would also be pretty nice on arctic silver...
Arctic Silver design #1
Thanks. I created that one for my avatar, then started playing around with variations and came up with the others. I like the idea of putting a triple stripe on my car, but I think it would be neat to customize the look a bit.
I'm liking the last version of #4 the best. I think it has room for some slight tweaking, but looks good. Are these for yourself? Or are you planning to sell them?
I'm trying to come up with something I like for my car, which I will then get made by a shop. Not planning on selling, but if anyone here likes the designs they are free to use them as they wish (e.g. get decals done at a shop, paint, etc.).
What I get out of it is your opinions to help me make tweaks or come up with new ones... everybody wins
If you are going with 4 I reckon you need to bring across the rear deck, I'm assuming wrapping.
Personally I like the nice simple design of White Pearl 3. Looking forward to seeing this one in Canada!
Just for you Fiero - Wild!
Seal Grey #4d red (lots of image compression artifacts on this one... sorry but had to keep it to a reasonable file size for the forum)
I like that Gulf design a lot!
As far as #4, actually you'll see that I kept the stripe lined up with the red part of the tail light, so the lights and rear reflector integrate into the design by forming a continuous line that goes all the way around the rear end and join up again with the stripe on the other side.
I'm working on it - will post when I have a front shot completed. As there are three large openings in the C4S front bumper, the stripe doesn't actually have much ground to cover so to speak.
Very interesting to see everyone's preferences - it seems that every design has its backers.
Keep 'em coming!
edit - I cannot for the life of me understand people hiding the beautiful lines of a 911 with stripes and checks. Even the ones Porsche does from the factory look tacky.
But hey - it's your deal.
Sure - different strokes for different folks. I can appreciate that this isn't everyone's cup of tea. From my perspective, it's a bit of personnalization and I like that.
Here's a shot at it, using a 3/4 front view photo of my car. As mentioned earlier, there isn't a whole lot going on with the stripe at the front, due to the large intakes.
Seal Grey design 4d
I like the stripe 2 or 3, but would like to see the vintage 'porsche' logo, centered. Ala the '74 914 rocker stripe. If you can, thanks. My car is Arctic Silver, too.
You mean like this?
I believe that's the standard Porsche triple stripe design you can buy from various retailers. My designs #2 and #3 are essentially the standard version, but with different text (using the Porsche typeface) and in slightly different shades.
[QUOTE=91One;14056447]I present you... the Red Baron!
Seal Grey design 4d - Red1
Thanks This is the one for me, gotta be different, will add LS3 on side. It can always be changed in the future ya know
Right now I'm leaning towards #1. But I'm going to continue experimenting with a few more designs while I am waiting for Spring to finally arrive (got another 8 inches of snow today if you can believe it).
My plan once I put the car back on the road is:
- restore the headlights
- paint the instrument cluster surround
- plasti-dip the wheels (as a test before getting them professionally painted)
- make a final decision on the stripe design I'll have made
