Your car actually works well with/without the stripes. I would usually vote no stripes but your car I'm 50/50.

Never been a fan...In fact, I pulled both the GTS and Turbo S decals off of my cars from that location.

Beautiful Porsche.

I normally don't like, but on the white, I think it looks more fitting.

@james280
I ordered the stripes. I can always remove them if after a few days I don't like it. I like the clean look. However, I always loved the classic ducktail RS with Fuchs. That was the Porsche on my wall, which is why I have a Sport Design pkg car with Sport Classic wheels (modern version). The only thing completing it would be the stripes? I wouldn't go "Carrera" because its a 4S and that didn't come as an option from Porsche for the 991 so I think it would be cheasy and not very "modern version", if that makes sense.

(Photoshopped w/ stripe)



(Classic version) I also already have the black tips & lightbar across rear being a 4s.




Absolutely love the 2.7 RS in white/blue but would never do that to mine.

As expected - some are yes to stripes, others are no, several are "your car, your decision" or "either way". No consensus here.

OP - have you made a decision, what are you gonna do? I'm a 'without stripes', btw, the cleaner look the better for me - but either way, a badass car.

Yes stripes. If it looks “too much”, you could also do the stripes in an off white color to blend more and the letters in black, I think that’d look sick with your wheels and duck tail. I am totally unbiased in regards to stripes 🤷🏻‍♂️. Can always remove if not happy or grow tired.

I like stripes but opted for a subtle Carrera 4S decal to match the wheels (somewhat). With the black stone guards the look is what I wanted. Everyone to their own tho.

I personally do not like the black wheels....always like stainless look....maybe the photoshopped strip is a bit too narrow and a "fatter" strip would suit the size of the car....
