Default Should they stay or should they go?

I am thinking with the wheels, calipers, emblem, and the interior trim, the stripes might be too much now. I am thinking I need to remove them. What do you think, should they stay or should they go?

I always like simple. Nice car, great color, I would lose the stripes.

It reminds me of a face tattoo. (remove it)

Not a fan of stripes on a Porsche unless they are simple and tapers from the emblem

+996 not a fan of the stripes

Maybe a mk1 gt3 bumper to match the side skirts and wing if you have the itch to modify. I'd swap the wing for a taco one but that's just my opinion

Black top, red body, black wheels, red calipers, black stripes.

Thematic, I say keep it. The wheel crests set it off as well.

Nice! Will look awesome IMO at the moment it looks slightly incomplete without the front because you have the sides and wing.

​​​​​​Current wing does look good though!

I like the stripes. There's a long history of modifying 911s to make them unique.

You do need to get the correct rear emblem

I like stripes, but not off-center ones. Makes the car look unbalanced. I'd replace with a center stripe.

Hawk, if you really love the new look, you wouldn't ask for our opinion would you?

Personally, I would keep the stripes...
