Carrera side stripes on a 991?

I'm considering whether to put Carrera 4S side stripes on my 2013 silver C4S. Can't seem to find pics of side stripes on many 991s, and the few I've seen are usually on white or yellow cars. Looking for a pic on a silver car if anyone has one, to help decide...

Best I could find from a quick Google search.

Seems like the company with the images is https://shop.zengraphics.co.uk - maybe shoot them an email and they'll be able to create a photoshoped file for you of the exact car color/decal that you're interested in. Hope this helps you a bit!

Thanks Dmitry,

Here's the side stripe that I'm considering:

I'm just wondering how it would look on my silver 991...



I have a theory that side stripes may look better on solid colors, especially white and yellow cars, and not so good on metallic paints, like silver. But I'm not sure, so I was just wondering if others have stripes on their silver cars, and if they are happy with the look.

I know this isn't a 991, but it may help with a visual nonetheless..Graphic is pretty close; I think it looks good actually.

It would be a shame.
