IMHO the off white/ivory is perfect. It got a period patina about it which softens the effect. Silver may be a bit too modern/strong for this asthetic?

Hmmm. I was thinking the same silver as the wheels. Maybe the wheels should be the same off white/ivory as the stripe? Damn. I don't need this to turn into a $4k project. White wheels would be hell with the brake dust. [thinking while typing]

I am doing this! Here are the renderings they sent. I'll get with them and select a silver color and work on the stripe ends. But for $300!

One suggestion: end the stripe just above the horizontal line on the bumper just like the long hood 911 to provide a clean design that honors the original.

I'd end at the hood and forget the front bumper...its a bit too much. What does it look like with a narrower stripe than shown? Maybe 75% of the shown width, as its starting to dominate the car, rather than accent it. I think it would look good running into, not around, the front hood air intake at the top.

Bump...Any update?! We're curious.
I was wondering whether someone could create (or has) a wrap that mimics the orange stripe/"Porsche Intelligent Performance" that's on the 918RSR on the cover of Feb/March Christophorus? How do you think that might look on a Polar Silver 993 Cab (midnight blue top)? Seems it could be a modern update of the Gulf Racing color combo? Maybe get matching wheel color (orange) if going all-in for the racing look?

If you only want the stripe of the 918 a wrap is not required. Would be in the same realm of possibility and price (a bit more complex) as the one I'm doing.
