Stripes on a Porsche???

I'm wondering why stripes are so rare on a Porsche. In fact I can't even remember seeing a Porsche with them?? Wondering what they would look like with some "ghost stripes" or something more aggressive.. My first thoughts would be that "they don't work" on the cars. I have no knowledge with Photo Shop so I can't even play around with some pics...
My previous "toy" was a 289 FIA Cobra Roadster Kit car that begged stripes and looked great with them.
Just curious...

Here's a real nice stripe wrap from the Turbo forum. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...evt-700-a.html

I seem to recall that one of the special models (perhaps the Dutch one) had very attractive faint gray stripes. I hope that someone with a better memory will recall more than I do and post a link or a better description that will lead to a link.

I did a bit of research and came up with the name of the special model with stripes: Sport Classic.

I don't know, this is just my opinion but stripes on a Porsche is about as useless as:

Stripes are nice, but how about something like this...matte black, only noticeable at certain angles...

That white turbo looks like it got ran over by a monster truck lol, some cars work well with the stripes, Porsche's isn't one of them. IMO

The white turbo is ruined by those black stripes, IMO. Looks really cheap, to me.
