Jeff- got the stripes today & I thank you. 1st thing I did was to see how long they are (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Unfortunately it's freezing here again so no install today- I take them into the garage they'll get hard as stone. So, if it's warm enough this weekend that's what I'm gonna be working on. Thinking of using the AA set for practice... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I've had this in mind for years & when I saw Cayennes painted this way I nearly died- my idea was out of the bag (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I thought of this on the lot of HBL Porsche back in 1974 when I was 11 & have kept it hidden all these years so nobody would steal my idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)
I've never done this before, realized I had wasted money buying crap before I consulted w/ Jeff Bowlsby, figured now that I have the right ones I should use the ones I got off of ebay to practice with before I attempt it on the LE. As usual it's not as easy as it looks. Not only do you have to make sure everything is clean, but be sure to really clean the door seams & wheel well arches thoroughly. Wind is your enemy, so do it on a non windy day. Cold is your enemy, so make sure it's warm & sunny so you can be comfortable, be able to see & the stripe stays flexible. BTW- fat flares make the job harder. Behold the "Antisicle?": Attached image(s) |

Nice, the World needs more like this. Now that you are all in...how about painting the Fuchs centers and bumpers to match? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

My six was originaly Irish green, then someone painted it red & now it's black. Always planned on stripping her bare, since she's very paint heavy, fixing anything that needed fixing & then repainting her black- possibly even getting Scotty B to fab up a steel roof for me & make the 916 conversion complete. Think I saw a pic of a 916 once in this color combo but that car got repainted if I recall right. Have no idea what to call this combo though- not a grasshopper, creamsicle or a bumblebee. |

Aha, these had orange trim. Exactly but I think it's the same car (note license plate) & it was repainted silver. Hmmm, the antenna seems to have moved though; maybe not? Never liked that big 916 sticker on the hood but otherwise it was by far my favorite combo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Really nice to have the luxury of being able to practice 1st before I go for the LE.

When I tear the car apart for her glorious repaint I plan on painting the rockers, wheels, front & rear bumpers orange (phoenix red) & the chasis black. Then I'll put the same negative side stripes back on to complete the look- like the LE that never was but should have been. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Ultimate would be to replace the Fuchs w/ 5 lug Mahle gas burners, but they were never wide enough & the replicas are not magnesium. |

Huh? The white/orange car is a real Creamsicle. The black/green car is a fantasy - "Bumblehopper". I wonder what a "Bumblesicle" might look like? Or a "CreamBlau" or a ...
