D.D.I.

Don't do it.

Not my style, but with the frunk lid & spoiler, it does sort of bring the room together.

What he said. The black rims make it look good. See what it all looks like without the spoiler :-)

Side stripes always look good on a porsche, but I may be a bit biased.

The general consensus is that the old folks don't like them (must be too loud). :D

Do what you like and you'll never go wrong ;)

Nothing wrong with stripes! Do it!

I like the unique style of the stripes...goes well with black accents on hood/spoiler and your black top also.

I think they're a bit much on a street car. But, it's your car.

Nine8Six 04-09-2014 12:54 PM

honest opinion?

The stripe is fine.... viewed from my monitor anyway. The red 986 got to go tho.. TOO TOO TOO big. Either get rid of it or make it fit inside the stripe.

Nice car, wheels, spoiler and hood. Silver, can't go wrong with that :)

I like it. Is it a carbon hood or wrapped or painted? If carbon where did you get it and do you like it? Thanks in advance.

Like Heliguy I might be a little biased as well, but I love the look of the side stripe and matching vents/wheels!!

nothing wrong with side stripes :cheers:

I prefer a classic PORSCHE stripe, BUT I think yours look good too, xtremecc.
Probably would get rid of the 986 like Nine8Six said.

BTW: like your design too, drew44

Looks cool... it's a custom look. :)

xtremecc 04-09-2014 06:04 PM

Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. JAAY, its only wrapped. Several had stated the carbon fiber hood will warp in shape and bubble up midway. I skipped on it.
