very nicely done.
the piece b/n the air intake scoop on the back under the wing is great integration.

i didn't like the sill graphic b/c the fat thing in front of the rear wheel arch, then i saw the thin piece behind the rear arch, voila... i understand now.... and now i love that too.

can you pm me as to the cost of such work?

Darrell, that's one heck of a job you've done with the car. Super!

I guess I am alone..... It looks like a Mustang to me.... the car is so sexy and the stripe is so heavy.... each his own, etc
Certainly the two decal sets have nothing to do with each other..... sorry

Way too much going on now.
I agree with these two chaps, one scheme or the other not both.

Dell-
Looks good on those cars- maybe its the integration of the red and also the repeat of the stripe around the rear wheels?????
By Mustang I meant the use of a big stripe- nothing more- sorry if I was abrupt.

Don't apologize for being abrupt. Nobody is gonna jump your **** unless you are just flat out rude or attacking. Most here will repsect your opinion whether they agree or not.

For putzin around town, personally I don't like the "hey look at me" colors, stripes, etc., but at the track, his RS with the Martini stripes is gonna be hot!

One thing that I learned for surafter Porsche has become my hobby is that to each his own. Those who love this kinda "stuff" will drool over this baby. Those who don't, will not like it even more so go figure. I would probably have to see this in person to fully appreciate it. Thanks for the post.

Really nice. Didn't porsche put the martini stripe on a white RS not too long ago??

These guys might have alot of creativity but they didn't have to blow it all on your car. Like others have said, I would of done one or the other and RS would of been just like the original. I don't see the point of shark fin and none of the RS's ever had such a design.

Once again I wouldn't want to bash on their work but this is no civic, their logo ruins everything.

To each is own.

Wow! Very nice work.

Agreed that the side graphics may be a bit much and the bumperettes really stand out now (and not in a good way), but the overall look is still sweet!

nice application. Are you going to cover the front end w/ a clear bra of some sort? If not; be ready to watch that nice vinyl get shredded at the track...it will look really good with lots of white paint poking through the track rash it will get....just a thought. (I like the stripes w/o the side graphics; perhaps as previously stated, doing them in a combination of Martini colors will tie it together more cohesively) maybe hit the splitter w/ red and the bottom aspect of the rockers as well and the rs logo in the blue/black combo for a more historic reference.

i'm with these guys. love the martini stripes but the RS stripes on the side are too much. should be simple elegant martini side stripe. also really don't like how it flares up onto the arch. if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?
