Default Side Stripe Decals - Am I Crazy?
I'm up late and cruising Ebay for random stuff, when I come across these side stripes:



Somehow, I like them. Fun, inexpensive, and temporary. Why not? Maybe white or red stripes on my dark blue car.

I know it's contrary to the general vibe on RL, but I thought I'd throw it out there for opinions.

The huge, blank billboard, slab sides are the most boring aspect of a 996. Anything to add interest to that bleak wasteland is more than welcome.

Would these be for people that don't actually already know it's a Porsche when you drive by or to remind yourself it's a Porsche?

Why would they be against it? Ferry Porsche had graphics on his personal one-off 2.7
Good enough for Mr. Porsche good enough for me.

The UK graphics guys sell them for $80. The dealer set run about twice that. There are excellent YouTube videos demonstrating how to put them on in a snap.

Considering Porsche has a history of this this, I can't see why it wouldn't work.

I think if you like it go for it, you can always take it off if you change your mind.
