Default photos of gold side stripes?...

Does anyone have a real life photo of gold side stripes/decals from renndecals.com? Thanks in advance.
(Thinking of gold on meteor grey, as gold 'may' be a good match to the sand beige interior color, on a Boxster. My wheels are silver.)

To provide some inspiration, I pasted together cropped sections of a photo i received from renndecals onto some grey caymans (not my car/boxster, but same color).
I think it works! Especially if the sand beige interior were visible as it would be on a boxster with the top down.

I have tried to find a source for “ghost” gold stripe which would let vehicle color show through letters and stripes — no luck so far.

I think it could look nice but I think the wheels need to be bronze or black for it to work.

So I tried the gold side stripes on my Boxster. I was in the process of installing one of the decals, and used the portion I trimmed off to check how the color looks. I stopped short of installing the decal as I didn't like the 'match' between the gold and sand beige interior. So these stripes are now up for sale in the marketplace if anyone wants gold side stripes (987R style) for their 987.

If you had Aurum colored wheels I think it could be cool.

That works nicely! (As a reminder, I have my gold stripes for sale in the marketplace, if anyone wants them? Open to offers. :-) ).

Default Gold stripes

That CS looks great. I agree that some “in between” gold and tan/beige would be ideal if sand interior.
