I loved them at first, but the love has faded. I think I will remove them and look for some subtle side graphics, not so over the top maybe.

Your car...make it the way you like it. Everyone has an opinion...right? The one that counts is yours!

You should get rid of that wing. Let me know when I can swing by and pick it up!

I'd remove the stripes too.

I've been thinking about doing a wrap of my hood in satin black. Might be an alternative look for you.

If I ever get a big bore rebuild I'll be putting a "3.8" or "4.0" italicized script on the sides behind the front doors (or maybe in front), in silver to match the Carrera logo in back.

B*tches love subtlety

Get rid of the stripes, the spoiler, all the aero stuff, the wheels, and go back to dead stock.

This. Remove them and make it look more like a Porsche and less like a Firebird.

I appreciate all the feedback on them. I did decide to remove them after all.
