Default 600 dollars for a few stickers?

Anyone done it?

For real life video

Is this too much to pay for a few stickers?

I got mine in UK for about £50. Not authentic Porsche parts but indistinguishable.

Great shot of the car in action. The glowing front brake disc and motion blurred backround makes it an excellent photo.

I think it's a very personal choice. For me, I think it's a bit tacky and redundant. I think something like "Kills bugs fast" on the side is much more interesting than "Porsche" haha.

These stickers seem to conflict with the car, attempting to say "old school" on a very not-old-school flank.
There are some great "stickers" to be had (eg. user Carera) but like the $15K NART stickers on a 458 Speciale, I just can't imagine what people are thinking, like paying for the horsie badges, but somehow ... somehow? ... people pay for them and they add to resale value ... I have no clue about these things.

The French have a saying, chacun a son gout. To each his own taste. While we debate the esthetic of stripes and whether only white is an appropriate color, there are other people who think the car itself is an indulgent waste of money. I happen to like the stripes and stickers, but then again I don't understand the concept of "understated" while driving a car with a wing on its a@&.

Rockit, like the color and wheel combo (sans the decals)?

Not for me, but thought you'd appreciate another Rhodium/black wheel combo in the flesh.

Have some advice for self application. They have a great video so follow that for sure to make sure you get them straight. But unlike mine, cut them just before they get to the wheel arches before the metal starts to curve. I have mine curving round into the arch and it's a weakness. One bit's already peeling off!

How would the Martini Racing Design Decal Set look on a black 991 GT3? Anyone have any pics?


Quick Reply: 600 dollars for a few stickers?
