With the side stripes, I would not do hood stripes on your car under any circumstances.

Not a fan of stripes/decals. As a matter of fact I asked my dealer to remove the PORSCHE rear wing decal and the small GT2RS decals on the doors once he PDI my car. Its not like someone will mistaken a Porsche for a Honda or a GT2RS for a Boxter!

My dislike for strips/decals goes back to the '80s when cheap Japanese car owners used to slap them around their cars and made them look so tacky!

I prefer the stripe if NO side decals - otherwise, too busy for me.

Personally not my cup of tea either.

Also, if you went a different color then the GT3RS stripes on the side
it looks like there's too much going on.

No stripe, or the light stripe. I am actually not a fan of the big GT3 RS side stripe. I personally would change that to a smaller one.

I would match the side stripe color with the stripe on the hood.

Looks a bit awkward as the stripes remain the same width throughout and don't narrow to follow the natural lines of the hood as they come to the crest. A proper kit should look more like this:



Subtle, but makes a big difference and appears much more OEM as it follows the lines of the Turbo S Exclusive Series stripes:

Agree with the no stripe. The RS has way to much going on....that's the reason I elected for the "plain 'ol 3"

Has anyone changed out the black GT3RS stickers on the bottom to gold ones on a Miami Blue car with gold wheels? Would love to see what that would look like without buying the stickers and experimenting.
