Default 718 Spyder Racing Stripe

Just added a racing stripe to my Chalk Spyder. Turned out pretty cool

Nice. I like how you tied in the top color. I'm trying to come up with a scheme for my incoming Chalk with Aurum wheels Spyder. My old 981 below:

Very tasty. It takes your eye away from the wart on the trunk. Where did you get the racing stripe from?

I went to a local company that does custom wraps and ceramic coating. We just used a gunmetal wrap (matches the wheel color) the a red pin stripe to match the soft top and they created the racing stripe. Also put a full front end wrap on with ceramic coat since I was there.

Are you on key Marco?

I just bought a house there and I think I’ve seen your car.

Very nicely done...generally don't like race stripes on street cars, but that improves the look of the car.

Are your red stripes strips or did you just lay over the top of a large red panel with a slightly smaller silver one? I always believed that the ones on my 981 Spyder were silver graphics laid first, with the black on top of that. But I never actually confirmed one way or another.

That's actually very nice and tasty! congrats. Would love to see more pics with the top down and from a bit further to appreciate the overall look.

Is your "Spyder" logo in the back the one from the 981 or 987?

I like the black and silver! The red is actually stripes vs an overlay.

Spyder logo was the OEM 718 Spyder logo, I just removed 718 to keep it cleaner

I like the look in general, but have to admit it actually highlighted the wart to my eye.
