Default Too much or just enough?

I’ve had these stripes laying around for almost a year. I planned and putting them on when I finished my engine work but while doing that I found the rot on the sills. I didn’t want to put them on before doing the body work so here I am. I finished up putting everything back together on Monday and the stripes Wednesday eve. Not to difficult to install - just followed the directions...

I like it. It's an old school look, but you know what? Our 996s are starting to be old school.

Looks good!

I like it. Is that Midnight Blue? Looks the same color as my 996 - I might try this as well.

Also, what suspension do you have? Yours rides a bit lower than mine. I'm looking to lower it from stock, but don't want it too low. I really like your ride height.

I like it, I would leave it on until you're tired of it.

I'm a big fan. Stickers add fun.

I like it. I want to add some stickers to mine as well, but I need to get my side skirts on first.

These cars are getting to the classic age about now (especially apparent when parked next to anything from the last five years!). I like the decal and have considered it for mine. Along with the duck tail, Fuchs and some plaid seat inserts. Yeah baby!

I second that. Kinda reminds me of the 911 Carrera RS

The stripes look good. Have you been doing some roof shingle replacement recently as well?
