Never usually a fan of stripes and like the clean look but I think because I'm usually a fan of black cars it usually wouldn't go, whereas a bright colour seems to led itself a little to it.

Definitely use vinyl so you can remove them if you change your mind later.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

hey guys
Could do with an opinion or two
Apologies if in the wrong section, not exactly technical..
Making some slight visual tweaks to my 996, and generally love it but just one or two things to make it perfect.
Here's what she looks like now:
But I can't get rid of the idea that some offset stripes would go well with the colour and just set it off nicely. Excuse the poor ms paint job but I was thinking something like this:
running over the spoiler, front to back. What do we think? Cheesy or looks the part? I can't decide! Never usually a fan of stripes and like the clean look but I think because I'm usually a fan of black cars it usually wouldn't go, whereas a bright colour seems to led itself a little to it.
Was also toying with the idea of white alloys of some description but I do like the gemballa / speedlines so probably won't change them
Re the stripes, regardless what the rest of us think, do whatever will please you. But if they're not removable when the time comes to sell the car - I know, you're going to take it with you to the grave - any such non-removable mods could seriously limit the number of possible buyers.
I think the car looks great as it is. Your aerokit adds enough pizzazz.
If you want to add stripes, personally I think Porsche side stripes like on my Cayman, or a centered stripe down the middle (fat center stripe flanked by two thin stripes) would look better than the offset one.
Definitely use vinyl so you can remove them if you change your mind later.
hehe definitely!! I'm just literally down the middle with whether or not I like the stripy look so appreciating the opinions
Will be in vinyl for sure so I can remove them when/if I shop her in (although ideally I want to keep her alongside the replacement, still a year off though so we'll see)
Might have a play and see what a centre stripe looks like
I probably won't go the side stripes as I want to just keep the Gemballa decals on there
love the cayman, first time I've seen one in yellow now I think about it
I thought it lost a bit of top end with stripes but quicker off the mark?
If you want to improve the appearance go with one of the dozen options (covers, tint, vinyl) that make our headlights resemble that of a 911.
It's extremely controversial on this site but there's a reason you won't find anything in the market that will make 911 headlights look like 996 lights.
At least after five years Porsche went back to 911 lights and haven't look back since. Hopefully they never will.
I wouldn't touch it. I think the color says enough...the last think is needs is something that says "look at me" or that spells out the word "Porsche."
I should have a set of Magnagrafik Carrera magnetic side stripes in my garage somewhere that I had for my 993 along with the hodd protector square. Never used them, I do not think the hood piece will work but the side stripes might if interested in non-permanent solution, My 996 is basalt black so I can't use them.

I don't get the "Porsche" stripes. Everybody who sees our cars knows exactly what they're looking at. I just don't see the need to remind everyone from literally every direction.
Understand the no need to stripe thing but maybe it is the want to personalize your car. I'm torn between always wanting to put a stripe on a car and loving the plain as is look. Nice thing about vinyl is you can put on and remove when you get tired of it.
Reviving this thread so that hopefully I can find a quick answer to put it back to bed. I am looking for the online company that sells Porsche decals. I thought the name of the company was on this thread, but apparently it is not. I'm not looking for the ebay stuff. The company I'm looking for based on other Rennlisters recommendations custom make each decal (stripe or otherwise) that is ordered.
