Agree with the above statement. Not a fan but you should personalize to what you like.

For what its worth, hard to beat an unmolested speed yellow C4S

I like the red accent on it. I like a little bit of bling over the pure stock look.

It's nice. Not sure if a different color would look better.

I chose those stripes - even though they are intended for the 997 - because the red accent matches the red seat belts and the red S on the tail.

I'm inclined to agree but for $40 I wanted to see.

Looks nice. Since you're experimenting, you might want to consider black/charcoal vs light gray. It would really pop against the yellow paint. That red line also goes well with the calipers.

Thanks for the input and going to the trouble of rendering!

I surprisingly really like those! That yellow is fantastic, and agree that black would look even better.

The red line does a great job of setting off the brake calipers + the seat belts. I wonder what it would look like to swap the gray for a slightly darker or lighter shade of yellow? Like a tone/tone subtle checkering. I think it looks great btw, I go back and forth about decals - on one hand I think the cars look stunning as is, but then I see something like this that fits well with the lines and overall design and I really like it too. Looks great both ways.

I like it, with the caveat that aesthetics are very much personal preference. Silver goes with the wheels, red accent goes with the calipers. Since it sits between them, the colours work pretty well, I think better than a darker shade would. Less contrast means it's a more subtle look, too.

Reminds me too much of this. Maybe that's why I'm not digging it.....
