The older looking decals would best be served with a 996 that went for a full retro theme with the Fuch wheels and duck bill spoiler IMO. Just my $0.02
I almost went with the "Carrera 4s" decal, but all the Singer 911s have the triple stripe. I would love to put a duck tail on it, but I am afraid of the merciless mocking of the interwebs.

I'm going for the black Porsche triple stripe on my 996. Will post pics when installed. Here is the photoshopped pic:

You guys maybe onto something. It'll keep the avg public from mistaking it for a bug.

If my ride did not have what I am assuming are OEM Carerra 4S decals on the the doors I would be ordering these. I have a set of magnagrafix stripes like these in black that I had picked up for my 993 but never stuck on. Wish they were not black or I would see how they fit on the 996.

Added the stripes today. Took me a little bit over an hour to do it. I would highly recommend having the small plastic squeegee installation tool. Brand new x-acto knife blades, the very skinny snap off kind. Watch a couple of youtube videos to see how it's done. I think I like the way they look on my car. These are the 4 inch size. If I did it again I would go for the 3.5 inch size.

These look great, I've been thinking about doing black stripes on my red C4S, and had looked at the same ones.

Now that I like in preference to the stripes. Plain and simple.
