Ricky, go to a hobby shop or look online for some washable, water based paint. Try a few different combinations before you do any real paint work

Well, the flag mirrors are common with the 944 and very cheap.
Maybe buy a spare set and experiment, to Sean's point.
What wheels are you running?
You could buy a boxster set cheap, retain the modern look, yet paint them any way you wanted.

Cool thing is you can get vinyl overlays for the lowers, and replacement mirror heads in any color you like. RKD demo's some photoshop ways of 'testing' your choices in advance.
My opinion, based on more than a few decades of driving 'interesting' cars, is that you can go faster on the street with fewer interruptions by law enforcement if you keep the paint a subtle color (like black...), keep the exhaust quiet, and use discretion in where you take advantage of the car's performance. Rules go away with a track-only car. Otherwise, no need to grab any extra attention, no need to add things that are distinctive enough to cath the officer's eye, nothing a possible witness might remember for the complaint. Again, my opinion.

I think it can be tastefully done. I like the photoshop pic of RKD's car - that looks pretty cool. To me, paint is not the same level of blasphemy as dropping an LS1 or some such into the shark.
