I’ve done it before and regretted it. I think in pictures they look great, in person, stickers on a Porsche looked cheap. The sun shines off them different than the rest of the car and it doesn’t turn out like you see it in your mind. Just my opinion, but been there, done that, and I’d never do it again.
Disagree.
My 82 has gotten far more compliments since adding the stripe.
I haven’t had those markings personally, but I happen to like those. The ones low on the side with the word “Porsche” are classic and fit with the brand. The stripes I had and didn’t like were the lines over the top, like the Ferrari pictured earlier. Your car looks great!
Porsche's been adding stickers to cars for almost five decades. I say go for it if that's what you want. They are easily removed if you don't like them so all you'll be out is some money. I like the stripe kit you posted on the 991.1 GT3.
Thanks for the opinions everyone, I really appreciate it! I'm going to go for it, and will order the color combo pictured on the GT3 I posted, with the matte dark grey.

I've very seriously considered them. If I'm not happy with how these turn out, I may go that route.

Good call on the Scud, I knew I had seen similar stripes somewhere before!

It is pretty close to the 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 stripe scheme which has also been a favorite for me.
You asked so my opinion is stripes=horrible=ricer. Sorry.
Hate to say it but I agree. If you go with a throwback livery like what the R has you might be able to pull it off, but I personally think that Porsche knows what they are doing and when the car leaves the factory line at Zuffenhausen, it is perfect as is. The way I look at it is I am nowhere near as smart as Porsche's design team, YMMV

+2, though he left out "cheesy-racer-wanna-be". These cars look too good "as-is". I even have trouble with those rear fender protector thingies. Yuk. Even chipped paint looks better than those. JMO...

Racing stripes add about 50 hp.
