Graphics, No Graphics, Alternate Color Graphics?
Do I leave it alone, or put on graphics?

The nice thing about graphics, they are not permanent. You can change them for a different look. The trend is subtle shades that don't do the 80s scream.
I would consider a dark Kelly green. Yellow would be too "John Deere"....black, boring....white would be a nice change.

I like the graphics, not to say your car is boring...quite the contrary; however, I liken it to the 'side diamonds' on my wife's engagement ring, while not needed, a nice accompaniment.
Beautiful automobile, Sir!

Some kind of graphic, the black does look good as it visually lowers the cars beltline.

I am a "less is more" kind of guy, so I find your car appealing just the way that it is. If I were to add anything, I would put black stripes on the bumpers alone. Only because that's what the factory did. They just removed the trim and bumperettes to save weight and covered the holes left behind with black tape.

I love the clean look of no graphics

Great thing is that you can always remove the graphics when you get tired of them...
So why not give them a try and remove them if you decide they are not for you... only a couple of hundred dollars down the drain if your remove them... no big deal. BTW, car looks great just the way it is... But I also like how that other one looks with the black graphics...

I voted for the light green option... but a darker green would look nice as well.

There's a reason every green 911 has 'em - they look great!

Fantastic! Thanks! I'm leaning toward the darker green.

If you are thinking of something unique, here's a clever idea. Inverted scripts.

It's a beautiful car. No graphics is my vote - the car doesn't need them.

I think it could look good. Could add some contrast to the side of the car to break up the lines a bit.
Either way its a win win.
