Can someone pls photoshop a side decal for me?...
 
I want to see how a PORSCHE side decal would look against the wheels I have. From what I've seen, they look best against black wheels, and mine aren't black, although close. Thanks!

My 2 cents.......as an Arctic silver owner I don't like it. I'm fine with the stripe but the Porsche script just doesn't do it for me. Seems too much like advertising . Yes I know there are plenty of classic Porsche's out there with similar script but it just doesn't look right on a modern Porsche .

I know what you're saying, but in all honesty, the 986 series isn't really modern anymore in my book. I've had my car 15 yrs now, and I was just thinking of something to refresh it. I sometimes like the look, but at the same time, think it does shout "look at me" when people already know it's a Porsche. Also, maybe it's in my mind, but since it's not a high-end Porsche, it might garner some sneers from folks who are running with 991s and Turbos who might view it as a poor guy with the bottom basement Porsche that is trying to announce to the world that he has a Porsche. Lol. What I'm hoping to do is just do tasteful mods that make the car look different from a standard Boxster, but still stay classy.

I saw the decal up close and in person at a cars and coffee one weekend. It was on a nice gentleman's silver Boxster that was very personalized to say the least. The stripe looked ok from a distance, but up close it was obvious that it was a sticker and that kinda turned me off. Regardless, I'll still think about it I'm sure as the mod bug never ends. ;)

Looks cool. I say go for it. Besides, you can always take it off.

How about stripes that are closer to " ghost " stripes ? Gray stripes that are 2-3 shades darker than the Arctic silver for example. Just enough contrast so you see them but still classy . Just a thought .

I was actually thinking that...a dark grey, for example, like my wheel color. What I think might look cool also are the Martini stripes, but then I'd have to do the hood and trunk. It never ends. lol

It's just a stripe, customization. You are not shouting anything that everyone doesn't know. The majority of the car driving world doesn't know 993 from 986 from 991, they just know Porsche.

That looks awesome. I love it. I have black with a white stripe. I didn't like it at first and almost stopped me from buying the car, but now I like it and am glad I have it when I see a black 986 with no stripe it looks plain to me...

Looks nice fellas. Just gotta get over the look from it when like 5 feet away when it looks like an applied sticker. Saw some stripes on a couple Ferraris at a cars and coffee, and for some reason, they looked painted on.
