Nahhh, don't do it. Like Moogle states, don't advertise unless you are getting a kick-back from them, plus I see so many cars with the stripes in different variations but they are all stripes (Mustangs, Camaros, Neons, etc.).

If you want to do something different then paint it don't waste your time and money by putting a band-aid on it.

I like the Martini decals on RSR's and 935's, not on street cars.

Thanks for all the input. Have decided to go a different route. I'm going to buy a GT2M wing, paint the wing itself and side mirrors semi-gloss black to match the wheels and paint the engine cover and posts that hold the wing arctic silver. Only graphics idea (maybe) would be a red Porsche decal to span the top of the wing to match the red stripes on the wheels. Should look pretty cool when done but may take awhile due to just shelling out @$8k on recent mods. I will post pics when complete, Cheers!

Um, no. It's called Porsche's racing heritage.

Racing Stripes just don't look right IMHO.
