That looks less hooptie than most, but I still like the clean look.

Put me down for no decal.

So I put the side stripe on. It looked ok but was a little too busy. I like the clean look too. I did it again but without the thin top & bottom stripe, just the centers, and in the same/correct location (1” from the bottom of the door). I’m actually liking it more this way. A little cleaner and it helps to see the wide-body. White is hard to get the body lines. I’ll drive it for a couple more days like I did before and see how I feel. Any input?

I may be in the minority but I think they looks great

Had the stripe on my .1 White GTS and planning on adding same to current .1 GTS Agate Grey

Looks pretty good like that as well. More minimalist.

I still think that your car looks better without. If you "must" stripe, I kinda like the solid without the small top and bottom. Just my opinion....car looks great either way.

I think stripes work best on white cars -- makes them look sleeker and less looking like a refrigerator.

With! I have a white GTS and even though it looked clean without stripes, the car looked like every other white 991 at the Cars & Coffee. Just too monochrome for my tastes so I added stripes just so the car would be set apart from the other white cars. The great part about the stripe is if you get tired of them, they can be removed. Bottom line... do what you like and enjoy the car!

Default Didn't think I would like the stripes

Now I can't imagine the car without them
perhaps if it was a different color.
