Thinking of Adding a Stripe ?
 

I'm thinking of jazzing up the Dangermobile a little by adding a hood stripe. Any thoughts ?

With a cabrio, all you get is a hood and trunk stripe - looks kind of 3/4's done without the roof stripe.

For a convertible, I'm still partial to the PORSCHE side stripe. Its a classic and breaks up the big blank canvas look of the stock Boxster.

I'm thinking just the hood.

Unfortunately, because my side skirts angle up toward the rear, it's not feasible to add a side stripe.

Gotta go with the classic striping: hood and trunk. Would look great with your black wheels.

you could do inverted PORSCHE door decals instead, maybe in that dark grey. You'd just have to tuck that little bit of solid stripe in the rear behind the skirting.
use the same color stripe for the hood with a little red border. if you want both decals to match you add a thin red stripe along the top of the inverted door decals to frame the PORSCHE lettering. Just like on the RS 4.0 GT3

Since the slates on my front bumper can't be painted black, in order to create a contrast, I was thinking of adding some sort of black stripe to just the hood. But, I think you may be right on the nah !

If you want to turn your butifule car into amazing, replace the front and rear hoods with black CF parts,Black out the headlights, and instal 987 CF mirrors.
It will make your car the most amazing box in the world (in my opinion).

Except this one of cours:
Custom 2000 Porsche Boxster

You gotta be careful with combining too much black with yellow. You'll even up with the bumble bee effect.

You're kidding right ?

:D
Yes :p

Just leave it the way it is.
Your car is very tastefully modified, and some times more is less.

If you are thinking of ...a mod, go for this instead... Lol :barf:

I like the black stripe idea, but I think it needs to go on the hood and the trunk, not just the hood. It would look weird without the trunk being done.

JD,
It's perfect the way it is...

I think you should explore Trans Am hood decals as an option.

Do you think I'll end up with a check engine light ?

Would Burt and Sally approve ?

Good advice. I kind of like the idea of having a vintage style stripe that's off-centered that goes along the hood and trunk.

Get some vinyl wrap and try a few things...it's cheap and easy to install ;)

I like the offset stripe look.

Like this...

Something along those lines. :)

I like the offset racing stripes! Those are cool!

Then finish it off with a racing size/style number. You can get it from any (magnetic) sign company for under $100, I'll bet. On yellow, I'd do black circle with white number.

Surely, there has to be some talented customizer out there who can paint your bumper slats black...

The person that originally did the work, is one of the most highly recognized and awarded custom painters in all of the Northeast. But, even he didn't feel that there's was a viable way to do it. I guess you would just have to see in order to understand the difficulty involved.

JD! Never thought I would hear you think about racing stripes, but lets get it on!

I prefer down the center and in the trunk, but the offset would look pretty cool also.

I did a hood only center stripe on my Z06 with black plastidip (didn't want to do vinyl because I can only cut straight 1/2" at a time : )

pm me your cell and i can send a text pic to you...pls don't ask me to post the pic as I don't have my phone in sync with any of my computers.

Take the picture you posted, and open it on your paint brush program. Draw one on it. You will change your mind- :cheers:

Good advice. Unfortunately, I don't have photoshop capabilities. Can anyone help ?

On kistudios.com, I like the hood stripe on the Ferrari F430 that goes down the sides of the hood badge rather than down the middle.

Me too. But, it's a ferrari thing.

Danger, what kind of body kit is that on your car? And is the original color yellow or did you paint it?
