I've never been a huge fan of writting "PORSCHE" on our cars. Seem silly and redundant. Everyone knows it's a Porsche, and for the ones that don't, fark 'em. Don't do, Danger. And I think the horizontal lines of a decal with compete with the lines & flow on your side skirts.

You don't write " PORSCHE" down the side, you write "BOXSTER" in huge bold letters!

I saw a 2012 or 2013 the other day with BOXSTER written on the sides and almost fell over laughing. It was almost worse than aftermarket air skirts, or bright yellow......oh, er, um........sorry..

Agreed. Yeah, maybe smoke the headlights a bit and be done. Looks great as is though.

I agree. But, there's a part of me that's looking to change things up a bit and refresh the D-mobile for the Spring. Maybe it's due to the fact that I'm still suffering from the effects of a bad nipple stage when I was a teenager ?

You should never use "bad" and "nipple" in the same sentence. It makes no sense.

I suggest that you withhold judgment until you've seen the nipple.
