So you do work for them, right?

Wow, that pattern really compliments the 930's wide body.

I hated to come all the way down to the bottom of the page... the top section is SOOOO Good!!

I really love the way your car looks - everything! The stickers are very cool, but the car is unbelievable!

Sounds like he works for them or owns the company.

Clifton...I am a graphic designer located in Cincinnati. I do all the design work myself and farm out the cutting to a local graphics shop. I mount the vinyl by hand. My stripes are custom made. My website just went live this week. I posted the images to get a feel for the level of interest in my product. Sorry for all the subterfuge.

Thanks - Dan
Stripes are nice, but they'd probably look better on my car.

YOUR car, has a black and white color scheme already going on.

What your car needs is to be done up in a killer whale, black and white pattern. Like the Southwest jets with the Sea World, Killer Whale pattern. Porsche did have the reputation of being a giant killer. Now get to work on those killer whale graphics.

Exactly.

Nothing wrong with car shots that happen to display a vendor's product. What I don't understand is posting like an enthusiast under the guise of "what do you guys think" of my new purchase. Then when people ask the "where to buy question" pointing them to your business and pretending to have no affiliation; a violation of the forum's rules.

The product looks fantastic and I like the retro look of the martini stripes, however, I find the masked advertising about as appealing as the Viagra emails that flood my in-box.

Instead of tricking people, why not be upfront about the intent to generate sales. Become a forum sponsor (you have to spend $ to make $$) and advertise legitimately.

Wow! I love white 911s and those stripes make it "pop" as they say.

My favorite is #1 without the side script. Beautiful.

Oh, and thanks for testing the speed!

I like it. . . . and I find it rather hypocritical of a fellow rennlister with the term "user" under his name to be throwing stones at you. It does break the rules, but it is cool stuff.

You guys came all the way from the bird and revived old accounts to pile on Dan?

If you guys don't like the approach then vote with your feet and wallets.......

I like the looks of the stripes. If I didn't have a plain-jane Targa I'd be in for something like this.
