Default Stripes or No Stripes?

I recently bought my white 2019 911T. The previous owner added (Miami?) Blue stripes and replaced the door bottom 911T decals with blue Porsche decals.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep or remove the blue stripes. I like the bottom Porsche decals.

What do you think - stripes or no stripes?

That is not horrible if you like that blue very much. If not maybe remove the hood and roof and keep the doors?

Side graphics tastefull.

Top graphics less so.

You only have to please yourself. Do what you like.

Agree with the others so far. Sides are nice, but I personally don't like the roof and hood stripes. But it's your car, so whatever you like is the right decision!

Remove the top stripes and powder coat the brake calipers a matching blue to the side stripe

Default Looks fine


Black roof

I live mine. But none on roof, as its glass. I just had it tinted dark black.

I voted no. My personal bias is against adding signage that yells "PORSCHE". I know what my car is, and I don't feel the urge to have to convince others.

I’d like the side stripes more if it was 2 colors - it’s a lot of blue. Also I only did stripes on the hood and I like it more

If you want classic Porsche stripes, get the black ones. The blue is kinda out of place on your beautiful white T.

I have a rhodium silver C2S and had satin black hood/roof stripes applied as part of a bunch of other changes I was making - very similar to yours. I ended up taking them off after a few weeks...for me, I found it made the car look too busy and the hood stripes made the car look really narrow. That being said - this is completely personal - so if you like them, keep them!

I've been kicking the idea around of adding some Porsche graphics to my car. It's a Porsche hallmark of sorts and has been for a long time along with bright, bold colors. Lots of examples going back thru time. Reference the Martini graphics, the flag stripes and others that were issued from the factory that were on special editions and not so special editions.

I like the car just the way you bought it. Very cool.

But as others have said, it's your car. Do whatever you like.
