I put a couple of decals on the lower door and wing, I kind of like it, but I realize decals aren’t everyone’s choice

I take offense to the "dentist/doctor" line above. Lol. Problem with Atlas Gray is ... how do I spiff it up a little. i don't wanna be the dentist OEM guy." Oh look... a plaine Porsche. Ha, probably a dentist." I hate that. Cam I do a ghost decal in black? Maybe red wth red wheels!

Too much of a subjective topic to get anything useful out of this thread. Put it on and see what you think. If you don't like it, remove it. $59 wasted but at least you have your answer. And maybe you don't even have to do that since someone photo shopped it for you. As others have said, you already have a lot going on there. If that was my car I would not add one more exterior decoration of any type, shape or form but that's me and it's your car.

Had Porsche decals back when I had the Cayman. Don't think I'd do it on the white 911. Mind you, the Cayman was black and I used anthracite or whatever it was called so it kinda blended in. Wouldn't do a super contrasting color but like others have said ... It's a decal. What's the harm. Take it off if you don't like it after a season or two.

i personally find the side decals to be an eye sore.

If you want a ghost look that really only shows up in certain lighting get the colour closest to your body colour and get the PORSCHE in the same colour. The matt finish will contrast with the clear coat and be as understated as can be. Black is a good candidate for this. Silver worked on mine. Other colours may be more difficult. Renndecals has a colour swatch that can be viewed to see if something closely matches your colour.

That's what I did. Went with a matte black decal on my black car. I liked it, but after a while found it really was too stealth since it really only became noticeable in the right light.
I just swapped it out to a matte gray stripe and matte red Porsche logo. Definitely stands out more. Still deciding whether I like it long term or not. But since it's minimal cost, and easily reversible, that's the fun of it.

My car is black and I'm planning to order from Renndecals either the matte black or grey, but still undecided. I supposed I can order both, but would you have pics of both decals on your car?

I borrowed your car, put a ducky on it, is that ok?
script is slightly different.
i needthe clear side markers and the wheels polished.

to the OP, i like it just the way it is. Looks awesome in that color and i like the touch on the wheels as well. I'd leave it......cheers

Your car was one of my inspirations for going with the look! Still can't decide if I should add the ducktail - I really like the clean rear end with the .1 aerokit front.
