I was all set to say Nay, but then went to the first post to see it and actually it looks great. It does tie together the wheels and mirrors and being finished off at the door edge makes it look "right". I am not a fan of the one that goes from wheel well to wheel well.

Red wheels
Now, some Red Wheels on the Dangermobile may be an option to consider!
Hmm-Yellow/Black and Red??

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.

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!

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.

Imho
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.

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

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 ?

I still prefer the original thought.

Agreed. The stripe really ties the car together.
