Do I need a side stripe?

Looking for help (see voting pole at the top, but also please comment, thanks)

Do I need a Carerra stripe?

A Porsche stripe?

No stripe?

Some help with photoshopping my picture to see what it looks like (yes)

Fantastic car.

I use a REALLY dark stripe. Almost a "ghost" stripe. (maybe charcoal??)

Something too bold would ruin the beautiful look of your car IMO.

It doesn't need anything....but that doesn't mean a stripe wouldn't look good.

Awesome car - I like the idea of a subtle stripe, and for me it would be the "Porsche" stripe. Maybe a grey, light enough that the wheels bring it out, but dark enough that it isn't "too much".


Then again.... keeping it clean is also a winner. You can always take the stripe back off I guess if you don't like it or get tired of it.

Looks like silver stripes on the duck? Same color Porsche stripes on the side, if you do stripes at all. Does look good as is.

A light gray would not shout but compliment the black beautifully.

On stripes consider Joe Bob's recommendations, he does it for a living. Sweet ride.

I don't know about a stripe, but you could use a beard and a cold Dos Equis.

Try whatever color you like and rip it of if you don'like it, it's not a paintjod.
My vote, (dark) grey, carrera script.

Does
Jack Olsen know you are driving his car?
