I like it a lot! Just showed my son (he's 12) his response.."wow..dad you make your car look like that!"
Looks good Johnny..ties in with the wheels and mirrors perfectly

I've never really liked graphics on a high end car like a Porsche. Clean is better.

No stripes or text- your car needs nothing. If you're bored go get a puppy....but leave the car alone.

NAY! It's not a spyder slapping spyder decals on it is akin to putting RSR or GT3 on it, it's the same idea, a pose, cards in the spokes. As it sits now it is a very cool "one off" of your own vision, design and brought to fruition by you. I believe it stands alone on it's own merits better in that mindset. Then again, I know nothing and remain banished, you want stripes put em on, frankly I could live without them and they are supposed to be on my car.

Nope.
One of the complaints on new BMW's is how many places the roundels are located and how many places say BMW on the car.
Your car looks great BTW!

I'll agree to the "conceals its art" part.

The picture is a mirror image.
Btw - anyone want to guess how many times 'Porsche' is written on a stock boxster?

The picture is reversed because it was necessary when I photoshopped it
JD: as much as you've been toying with this idea, I'd say that you're fairly set on it. Just go for it! Its vinyl and can always be removed

My opinion is no to the stripe. Adding that to the Dangermobile would be like walking around with a nametag on your left side, "Hi, my name is Danger. Johnny Danger."
If you want an accent on the side, maybe a double pin strip from front radiator air intake along the "hip" to the tail lights.

On new Boxsters it's right above Boxster on the trunk....And in the rear glass windows.

Hood emblem, steering wheel, stereo, intake manifolds...could go on, but I won't.

I counted them one day when I had nothing better to do. I think I stopped counting at 15. Floor mats, wheel centres, brake calipers. Radio logo when it comes on. Yeah - I've got spare time on my hands.

Red wheels with yellow.....It would be the ultimate Ronald McDonald mobile LOL! You could change your user name to Big Mac 
JD, your car looks awesome! It doesn't need anything. In my opinion, the aesthetic (tasteful) modes that you have done exudes Porsche. It doesn't need the lettering down the side to convince anyone. Clean is the key to a classy car. my 2 cents

I like the stripe but it is a common addition and your car is far from common. Here is another interpretation IMO adds flare but does not take away from all the work you have done...going with the less is more:
I would also do this treatment to the indention for the third light in the trunk.
