Default Considering Striping / Graphics

I’m thinking about adding some striping or graphics. Right now I’m partial towards Option 1 or 2. What do ya think?



Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

I know this isn't responsive to your question, but my suggestions comes from a good place: less is more. What separates your car from all the others will be the accents that may or may not be subtle depending on your style. My own style is understated, which is not exactly consistent with the wheels I have, but such is life. I suggest carbon fiber bits on your white car instead of striping or graphics - I think they will be noticeable and provide a beautiful, elegant contrast to your white paint color.

I agree. Not a big fan of the stripes.

Usually not a fan of stripes or decals. In fact the first thing I did when I got my 2 Pcars was remove the "GTS" and "Turbo S" decals on the doors.

That said...Option #1 looks pretty sweet if you really want them 😊

Great points that I would not have thought of on my own, exactly why the forum is helpful.

I agree with PB Pedis about using carbon fiber to contrast with the white of your car. Another option along the same thought is to powder coat in gloss black some of the trim pieces. In my opinion, if you go this route with CF or powder coating, I'd go with your option 3 on the door graphics.

I just added a fairly subtle Porsche Motorsports style stinger stripe to my Turbo S... Gloss black stripe, Agate Grey paint. Not the best pictures in the world, but all I have for now.
