Unanimous approval Wow! Unexpected for sure...Not that it would make a difference to me - I'm super happy with the way it looks, I just expected more push-back.

I may do this when I get my passenger door repaired again after getting hit for the third time while parked.

Dporto, that looks good bud. Nice job on the rust removal and repair too. Nice touch and I think the silver with the car color looks great.

I'm on a first name basis with the owner of the body shop now. They have matched my Rain forest green metallic perfectly in the past.

I hear ya! I thought I’d get more feedback along those lines. I tend to err on the side of understated myself, but I like the way they look...

FWIW I like what you did. Not going to do mine, but I see nothing wrong with a tasteful mod.

As long as you like it, thats the important part. 996s are so cheap these days i doubt it will affect resale value either, so win win for you.

Resale value? These are stickers, you can remove them at any time.

This is off topic but will this car beat a Mustang 5.0 in a quarter mile race?

I like this particular decal and have thought about it on mine. Looks good.
