I wouldn't have picked them if buying new, but when I saw this I thought they looked superb! Really striking.

Would look better in black imo.

I think that's a bit too much, what with the domain name down the side as well.
Clever how they've got it to line up on the wheel though. Must have spinners.

Bought a Boxster a while back with Porsche decal down the side. Stripped off after a year, had calipers done in red, a la S Boxster. The look is so much better.
Decals demean and take away the subtle lines of the car. If the designer wanted decals, they would have been etched into the shape.
So decals? Nix!

I have a Cayman S Sport in RS Orange which came with the side decals. I took them off after a few months and think the car looks much better without. However I am thinking of changing it out for a Cayman R and will probably have the Porsche decals on that.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the Porsche Side Decals are a Gloss or Matt finish?

Couldn't tell you - never really taken any notice.

Unfortunately my car is in the garage with my van parked in front.....if it was easy, I'd go and have a look...
