Yea or Nay on Stripe ?

JD...your Danger Mobile is that one painting on the wall the way it looks now. IMO it's poetry in motion and you don't have to do anything else to it. Would anyone want to start mucking around with Michelangelo's masterpieces?

I've often wondered if it was that painting which inspired the "pull my finger" gag ?

It's a piece of vinyl. Takes two seconds to rip off if you get bored of it. Definitely worth trying.
I think the stripes give the car an updated look from the Boxster Spyder and Cayman R getting lots of attention recently. It also adds some nice contrast when you have a monochromatic theme. Probably why the black graphics are popular on the orange, green and yellow GT3's.

Something like this might work ?

Yes, without the front bit.

Right - no front bumper segment.

Normally not a fan of stripes and bling. Have to say the black on yellow looks ok. And as been said, if you decide you don't like it it's easy to remove

Give it a go!

Another nice thing about this mod; it's cheap and can be peeled of when you get tired of it. No holes drilled.

[Johnny Danger]

Hmm... I'm perseverating now ?

[Johnny Danger]

How about something simple like this ?

[EssexPorsche]

Oooooh, now that's opened it up! That's very understated!

[Porsche Chick]

Yup, I like the latest version. Elegant.

[BruceH]

I still prefer the original thought.

[EssexPorsche]

But where will it go? You have a scoop detail there?
My one concern is that a bunch is decals along the sills is a bit ricey Honda? I know it just one but add a quick bilsteins decal and maybe an Apexi decal and you see what could happen.

I know you wouldn't go down that road but its the beginnings.

Mostly just curious about placement as I mentioned above.

Since there are inlets on my side skirts, I was wondering where I could place the decals as well ?

+1 for this version. Historic, understated, and classy.

I agree on this -- I'm pro stripe, but mostly I like the contrast of the black on the yellow. Though I am generally in favor of debadging, I don't care about the number of times a car says "Porsche" whether on the outside or the inside.

I'm firmly in the camp of "it's your car, do what makes you happy." But, personally I feel less is more. No stripes for me.

Agreed. The stripe really ties the car together.

I would add the front bumper segment. If it will fit at the same height. I can't tell from that photo.
Stylistically the door part ends at a "forward slash" slant. It might also look nice to have some sort of continuation of that theme on the the other end. I think it would tie up the two ends better. Maybe trim the length a little to fit that area before the front bumper side duct begins. That should give it a nice factory look.

Again, if you don't like the front piece you can just peel it off. I paid $80 from the UK graphics guys for all four pieces. If you do install that front piece be sure to have it pointing down a few degrees. Since unlike door the bumper is not flat and actually turns in, sticking it flat (with like a bubble level) will make it look like its pointing up when you look at it from far away.

How about a Mobil Pegasus for an outlaw look:
