I would think pretty easy for any kind of shop - not sure I'd attempt myself. I'd only trust myself to install the car cover

I wonder if this should be done before the clear bra?

Side stripes are the same style as KI Studios.

Did Porsche offer 981 stripes before, or is this the first time they're doing it?

It is the first time Porsche offers the stripes for the 981. Curiously, I cannot find any mention of these stripes on any other Porsche website than Suncoast's. Nowhere to be seen. I wonder if they are "official GT4" or adopted from the GT3 by Suncoast.

Yes, Black is the right choice. I would consider Red or Blue if you want to stand out, but then I would paint the wheels Red or Blue to match ala 73 Carrera RS.

Silver car with Black stripes and Black wheels would be my first choice if you want a Silver car with stripes...

White car with red wheels, mirrors, wing caps, and side and top stripes.

There was a picture on the web of that without the stripes, just can't find it right now.

K1 Studios - Kyle in San Diego cuts and ship's stripes of all designs for Cayman. I mention this because he has found a 3M platinum color that is an incredible match in both color and sheen he sells that is a perfect match for the Platinum Satin Wheel. It is a "wrap" material so it is easier to apply (but still not easy if you want perfection). The difference between normal sticky vinyl letters and wrap material is the wrap material requires pressure before it adheres. Here is a stripe I bought from him for my Cayman GTS.

That said, I do like that the official Porsche strip actually says "PORSCHE". I wish it had a secondary color as well.
