Just finished installation of new stripes on my car. Technically this is my third set of stripes ��. I had the original Carrera T stripes, but thought they looked more like the stripes a Cayman or Boxster would have (Yes, just my opinion). I was also on my kick to hide or remove the agate gray exposure on my car. (See my earlier post on why I think Gaurds Red and Agate Gray are not my favorite combo). Gosh, I nitpick I guess...
The second set of stripes were made by a local vinyl wrap professional, but after having them on awhile, I was keen to have the PORSCHE text proportional in the door area with some of the center stripes encroaching. In other words, more like the way we are used to seeing such stripes. Yep, nitpicking again...
My latest set I ordered from Chris at RennDecals in Canada ($54.95). His company helped me with long length versions of side and hood stripes for my Panamera (Executive). I picked a medium gray for the lettering and center stripe, and black for the top and bottoms. This combo is called the RennSport style, many combinations of colors are possible. Singer style is where only the text is deviated from the color of the stripes (I was tempted to do this too).
To install, the trick I think is important, is to get the car raised at a level that you can have good sight lines to make sure it is straight etc. otherwise, follow the instructions on their website. This is a photo just after completing it in my garage. I’ll get some shots outside soon I’m sure.
Very much thinking of this type of side decals to replace the Carrera T ones. Just need to come up with the right design and colour combos to tie in with my Racing Yellow T, along with Titanium Grey wheels and Agate Grey mirrors... 
P.S. Did you remove the Porsche stone guards?

Ceramics brakes will help with performance and weigh savings, but is not a “must have” item for street use. I think also that is good to avoid the extra 15lbs sunroof. Good luck with the searching! This white version of the picture looks nice! 👌🏻

I really like the 911T, how it is minimal yet driver focused. I would definitely leave out the sunroof and replace the standard side stripes with the 2011/12 Spyder version, first seen on the 908. Would give the car a more historical look. The non PCCB brakes seem small. Which other car were they sourced from?

They're the standard brakes from the base 911. That is one thing I wish the T came with, the larger S brakes. having said that I haven't yet run out of braking ability so they're most likely just fine for my use. You'd probably find the limits of them on the track but I've seen AP working on replacement discs, various pads and fluids would bump the performance as well.
