alternative color schemes
Snowy east coast day and considering a few options to switch between my stock 930 silver metallic look and less stock look. Thinking of using magnetic or vinyl that is easy to remove and re apply, or in the case of hood and engine lid, just pick some up at scrap/internet and store in garage for easy swap outs.
Which looks do you all tend toward liking the most? I am stuck between the BP stripes and the multi color center stripe type look. I like the Martini look, too, but that seems a little more ambitious than I think I want to be. I think magnetic BP stripes would be easy to stick on and also to remove. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I know hippster Magnus groupies like the junkyard hood and deck look but pick something real racers actually did with their cars. At least when you are an old man you will not look back and say why did I run with body panels needing paint to match?
You will get old one day, and hopefully still drive Porsches. ![]() |

I actually like the BP stripes, not sure if I can get magnetic version that will conform to the compound curves on the roof. Will have to check.

This is a personal preference but my eye prefers longhood schemes on longhoods, which Turbos are not. I know the factory is reaching back to their roots and picking up styling cues for modern "911s" although I think it a bit pathetic - If VW/Porsche release a premium addition with Martini stripes on their 2017 Panamera family truckster station wagon I'm going to lose all hope!

Vinyl graphics. Easy to apply, easier to remove.
