Just about any color looks good on white. Black always works, or same color as the interior

Re: porsche stripes

Match your wheels or splitter. Or red, if you want to go faster!

Re: porsche stripes

I've seen blue, red, black, and silver on white Porsches.
I went with silver.

Re: porsche stripes

It always looks good if you match the stripes to your wheels. On a factory white car I would go with Silver or matte black depending if you want contrast or subtle. If you plan to add in a color theme, stripes are a good place to start. Color choice is personal preference, and it just vinyl, you could always change it up down the line if you wanted.

Check out the customer submitted photos for inspiration here:
Porsche Stripes | Porsche Graphics | Porsche Decals | Porsche Vinyl | Porsche Stickers

Also, anyone else that has purchased stripes from KI Studios over the years; if you are willing to share your photos for use on my web site, please email them to me. It's a big help for people who are undecided on color choices etc, to be able to see examples!

Re: porsche stripes

Prodgers: No worries, I'll mail you some wet application graphics. You can apply them in the rain!

finally got around to putting some video together:

Kyle, beautiful job! You make it look so easy.

But here's the problem . . . You're on the west coast and I'm on the east coast. So tell me, if I bought some of the Porsche graphics (maybe something that you have or something that Suncoast sells) could a competent graphics person apply them? For example, there is a company in town that can cover a whole panel truck with advertising graphics. They do a very good job. Could they apply the Porsche graphics? Could I apply the graphics? (I used to build model airplanes. )

My car is red and I'm thinking that I would like the flat black graphics that run along the bottom of the door just to break up some of the "redness".

I've got a red CS as well, I'm thinking the same thing. Could I apply them, or would I need someone 'professional' to do it?
