FM7 has a fantastic design editor, probably the best tool to test layouts, colors and even oem/aftermarket parts, forget photoshop
Really like those stripes better than what Ive been working on. 😐
Wish I knew the exact dimensions on those. Any guess?
Nice work!

We'll see, but thx!
I would say roughly AROUND 50cm overall width --> Virtual design

I like your concept, because it is not such a "classic" PORSCHE 3-stripes design. I picked it, because it repeats the side stripes I have.
I had a 3-stripe design once on my trunk and liked it, but knew I wanted it a bid wider.
Simple trick, if you see a design on a frunk/trunk...just extend the design down to the license plate, get the exact measurements for it and Bingo...
My design is atm 2,5cm - (3cm space) - 34cm - (3cm space) - 2,5cm = 45 cm --> Euro license plate 51cm.
...and not sure, if I should have gone wider. Just have to wait and see.
I like a wider 3-stripes design on our 986.

�� It never looks as good when I do it ��

Looks wider at the front than the back but it's the same.

Changed the front of all lines inward 1" so 2" narrower at the front still not much change.
