Yes, I bought this with these wheels. They are 20’s. Wish they were 19’s.

I like them as well. I have been debating on and off for a year now on getting them for my 997.1. I was able to work with John at design stuff online and get some custom ones in the more bold Singer style script. I am just waiting for final proofs then shipping. He is doing both positive and negative space script for engine cover. I am going to start with the negative space script. I'll post pics when they arrive.

I hacked together an image that while not scaled properly (couldn't get the font the right size for the word PORSCHE), you get the gist. I was thinking drop the stripes and just use the word PORSCHE.
Thoughts? new ideas maybe?
I wanted something that would work with the fender fin that I think is a must on 911s. But only came up with this...

Yeah I got the PORSCHE stripe as a gift but for me I really like the black stone guards. The stone guards are going on. I was just trying to figure out how to incorporate the stripe without it looking too busy or "trying to hard"...LOL

I think this solution really works. Looks great.
Plus, clearly you have taken outstanding care of this car. It looks terrific.

Looks great. The grey on white was a great choice. I’m trying to decide what will look best on a black car. Leaning toward a dark/charcoal grey.

I have magnetic stone guards, so I ran some mocked up masking tape stripes under them a few years ago just to see how it looked

I was inspired somewhat by post #4 in this thread:

I like the stripe... BUT (minor quibble), the "Porsche" is just a bit too far forward for my taste. PJP13's, with the "Porsche" centered on the door, would be my personal preference.

I struggled with that a lot. But ultimately I modeled the placement after the Singer Porsches.

Looks awesome. Has anyone ever gotten them from https://magnagrafik.com/WholeCatalogue.pdf - I like the idea of magnetic ones as I just put new Xpel film on and don't want to risk damaging it if I put them on and immediately want to take them off
