I installed a black GT3 lip on my silver car this week, so now I will probably do the Black Vinyl strips on it...

I'm using an automotive steamer that I bought a few years ago to clean the carpets.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Just added these to my C4S. I've always liked the triple stripes on early cars and I was concerned that it would be too over the top in a heavy contrast on a more contemporary model, so I opted to go with more of a ghost/muted effect. If I get bored of them, it was only $50 and an hour's worth of my time.
I also have a Silver car and think that looks badass (Ive been on the fence doing that for over a year).... can you send me the link of where you got it and what exact color that is to choose?

These are gray in 3.5". Lots of available colours. Ordered them on Monday and they arrived Wednesday. They ship to the US and Canada from London Ontario.
Hate to copy you dude but I also have been debating putting the stripes on my Arctic Silver 2000 C2 hoping to get that muted effect but didn't know what color. I was thinking light grey or white. Always wanted a car with stripes on it, you'd think a 58 year old would grow up. Yours looks awesome, thanks.
My other 986 - silver with gunmetal grey stripes. I really liked this when I did it a few years ago. I have not done either of my 996 cab or 996 turbo but might!
havent owned either in years. I call it a 986 because thats what it is. Same if i called a 991 a 991. Both my Boxsters were cool cars. Not embarrased at all.
Haven't done the side stripes on my 996 or my 986, but my 987C already had them on, and I put 'em on both my 914s.
Pongo, your stripes look great!

I'm taking off the old 3m clear bra right now before I have a new one applied. I'm using an automotive steamer that I bought a few years ago to clean the carpets. Fairly easy to do. I followed the tutorial posted in the Concours and Car Care forum:
https://rennlist.com/forums/concours...-tutorial.html
wanted to say nice work on the decals... I like these but am too much of a follower to be the first in the city with a painted C2 996. Maybe in a few years there will be a bandwagon to hop on. They look great!
Just leave the car in the sun and you can peel them right off if you don't like them. No tools are needed. If they've been on for a few years you 'might' need to use a plastic edge like a credit card to get them to come off at parts.
So that's what a Porsche looks like...
Personally, the "Carrera" decals is more period correct IMO for the car and also educates people that a Porsche 911 is also referred to as a Carrera.
The older looking decals would best be served with a 996 that went for a full retro theme with the Fuch wheels and duck bill spoiler IMO. Just my $0.02
I almost went with the "Carrera 4s" decal, but all the Singer 911s have the triple stripe. I would love to put a duck tail on it, but I am afraid of the merciless mocking of the interwebs.
If my ride did not have what I am assuming are OEM Carerra 4S decals on the the doors I would be ordering these. I have a set of magnagrafix stripes like these in black that I had picked up for my 993 but never stuck on. Wish they were not black or I would see how they fit on the 996.
Added the stripes today. Took me a little bit over an hour to do it. I would highly recommend having the small plastic squeegee installation tool. Brand new x-acto knife blades, the very skinny snap off kind. Watch a couple of youtube videos to see how it's done. I think I like the way they look on my car. These are the 4 inch size. If I did it again I would go for the 3.5 inch size.
MK1 with those 5-star wheels + front lip = tremendous, nice work
Really like the look of the BBS CH-looking wheels on the Grey coupe above as well... BBS-CH on a 911 has long been my dream, but I still enjoy the OEM 5-stars
Glad you got the one that's spelled right... nothing more frustrating than to put the sticker on and realize it was spelled "Prosche". Those silly chinese! ha!
I did it to my 987 and have a set waiting for a little spare time for my 981. Not sure if I'll do in front of the wheels this time. I get them from the U.K. via eBay for about $30.
I installed a black GT3 lip on my silver car this week, so now I will probably do the Black Vinyl strips on it...
Black GT3 wheels will also be in the future
