Default 981 Spyder + GT4 Side Stripes

Found these on Twitter:









Front portion looks crooked to me?!?! Maybe it's the shape of the bumper that makes it look that way? Anyways I like it... Seriously considering them for my PTS.

I love these and am definitely getting for my Rhodium Silver Spyder, which arrives in March. Have them on my current car, GT3. Would like to see more pics of these if anyone has them.

Would much much prefer the logo to print Spyder instead of Porsche.

Don't want people to have the impression that I am driving a billboard for Porsche.

That's definitely crooked, it's almost like the front bumper got pushed up after they applied the decals.

It looks off in the second picture for sure.
I like the look.

reminds me of my old 914...


I don't need no stinkin stickers to pose like I am fast, I have a 981 Spyder.... I am fast....


The power of the Ford SVT Cobra in the body of the Porsche 914.... all stock from the factory made in Stuttgart... with heated seats and AC...


I am sure that I must have died at some point a while ago and am in heaven now.

They all look crooked on the 981's IMO. It was perfect on my CR and I contemplated it for the new car but couldn't find even one 981 pic that looked right in comparisson to the 987

Yeah, I agree. The 981 body is not straight like the 987... On the 981, the body curves in toward the side intakes where it is straight at the rockers... like a twist shape. Same goes for the front bumper. The upper bumper has more curve shape than the lower bumper. Gives nice depth naked, but it's horrible for any linear stripe.

Default Maybe just skip the small stripe segment . . .

The stripe is on sale now at Suncoast:

I would consider just going with the door portion of the stripe and not installing the small stripe segment on the front bumper. That would solve any alignment issues.

It's simply applied crooked, it's not the curve of the bumper it's just that who ever applied it didn't do it properly.
