Default Classic Porsche triple side stripes on C4S - easy DIY

Just added these to my C4S. I've always liked the triple stripes on early cars and I was concerned that it would be too over the top in a heavy contrast on a more contemporary model, so I opted to go with more of a ghost/muted effect. If I get bored of them, it was only $50 and an hour's worth of my time.

These are gray in 3.5". Lots of available colours. Ordered them on Monday and they arrived Wednesday. They ship to the US and Canada from London Ontario.

Did black on my seal grey boxster a few years ago. Looked freaking awesome. I then of course had to powdercoat my wheels black to .

Great looking mod on both cars.
Personalized 911's are always interesting to see. Make 'em unique and your own custom ride.

Here's a pic of my old 986. The Porsche stripes look good on these cars and the 996!

Good idea in case someone isn't sure what is parked next to them. Not my cup of tea, sorry.

Hate to copy you dude but I also have been debating putting the stripes on my Arctic Silver 2000 C2 hoping to get that muted effect but didn't know what color. I was thinking light grey or white. Always wanted a car with stripes on it, you'd think a 58 year old would grow up. Yours looks awesome, thanks.
