Very cool! Thanks for posting. I'm interested to hear some opinions, because I don't really like it on a 993. This, however, is amazing:

I'm liking it... at least it's better than that 19" blue stripe/white Ebay example!

I think it is pretty cool.

However if I was going to spend the money to paint it I would at least have removed the bumperettes ... instead of painting them blue also!

Harvey's right; ditch the bumperettes.

I think it looks as cool as all-get-out...for a track car. On the street, it's as gaudy as...my car.

Was that a factory paint job? Really needs to loose those bumerettes...

Ok, so I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like it. If I were going with racing stripes I'd probably rather prefer the Herbie look:

I also do not care for it. The car itself is amazing, and doesn't need a paint scheme to set it off. If anything the two-tone detracts from the lines of the car.

Right paint job, wrong car.
