The Porsche script on the rear spoiler is on backwards. It's supposed to be readable from the front of the car. Another way to think of it is if you were on the track and had a camera in the car pointing backwards you should be able to read what's on top of the spoiler. Have a look at how Porsche do it from the factory (4.0l RS comes to mind)

Me thinks it's not so minor... it really wakes it up.

I wonder why they did that. IMO it looks silly and wrong. But what do I know.

^ I like what most say and AC SATCO. I'd also make a small change to the mirrors and use the bottom as the accent color (red).. but now I'm just being picky. & I was looking at ^ photo.

they put the decal on upside down....it should face the front and bend with the spoiler....too much going on for my liking but that's why it's your car!

Agreed on the Logo. And I am a fan of either the center stripe, OR, the side stripes. Not both.

Love the scheme! I agree and think you have to flip the decal on the wing. I also think you should finish off the side stripe behind the rear wheel into that vent. Would look really cool and give some continuity to the theme.

To go forther with with Theme of the Stripe is to get it painted on the interior bits as well, not actual driving interior but exterior extremities. I don't know about the Frunk or back Bonnet having any heat shielding... But looks great, reminds me of something Kindig-It Designs would do.

Or just paint it all black. Including the rims. That would be the best.
