Default 2014 GT 3 stripes?

I am new to the Reenlist site, I hope that I'm doing this correctly.
I am considering getting stripes for my 2014 GT 3. I have seen the offering from Suncoast & kistudio, does any one have experience with either of these. I'm looking for thoughts and suggestions regarding maintenance and what looks most awesome.

Welcome to the group. How about a little more information on your car? Color - options? And I'l be the first to say 'where are the pictures?'

Kyle of KI did my stripes back in August 2014. I believe it's stripe kit #8. Titanium with black outline. The titanium matches the OEM wheels perfectly. They hold up quite well, having seen over 25 days at the track. There was a thread in this topic before, I believe it was named "see what our European brothers are doing with graphics", or something like that. I posted a number of pics in that thread.
I've gotten a ton of compliments, although they may not be for everyone. I have loved the look. The great thing is they are not permanent. If you get tired of the look, you can just remove them.

Thanks for the welcome!
My 2014 GT 3 is white, I'm drawn to the Suncoast stripes as the are Black ( with Porsche on the bonnet ) and would contrast nicely against the white and they seem old school...which I like. The kistudio stripes are gray in the center ( similar to the 4.0 stripes ) with red trim, I'm hoping they might customize black in the center with red trim.
I haven't figured out how to post a picture yet, I'll work on this.

Give Kyle a call, he's a fellow Porsche fan and owner , tell him some guys on Renn List suggested you to ; he may well be able to put together the stripe color package you are looking for. GL

I left a vm w/kistudio today, with my contact info. I'll try again tomorrow. Looking at all the great pics of your GT 3 w/stripes is convincing me that this is the way to go, I don't really see a downside. I downloaded some shots for my album , now I need to figure out how to load a pic that accompanies my post.
thanks for the help everyone! This is a very welcoming site.

I have a couple of questions:
- did they ship the stripes to you and someone installed it
- how much were the stripes
- can you pressure wash your car
-how's the maintenance

thanks for sending the pics

Yes. They shipped it to me and had my PPF installer do it. There are like 5 guys who work for my installer and one of them is really good at doing vinyl work. Just because you can install PPF good does not mean you are good at vinyl. You need some one with experience because you have to measure and line everything up perfectly or it will drive you nuts after installation.

I forgot how much is was but it was reasonable and worth it in the end.

I never pressure wash my Toys. I will use a hose with medium pressure but any time you use a pressure washer you need to be careful, regardless.

There is no maintenance. Just wash your cars as you always do. Now - it would not hurt to have paint correction and PPF and Vinyl installed and then have Cquartz (nano coating) applied to your car which will make cleaning easier and protect both your paint and vinyl work

Kyle (kistudios) does good work. Have purchased many kits from him over the years. Nice thing is the ability to change it over time if your preferences change.

Recently, I went with my own design that was simple and to the point...

Thanks for all the help and I'm loving the pics! It's nice to see all the creativity, it's making me comfortable with this decision.
