Don't like them at all. Unlike the 997.1 RS, these graphics seem to lose all Porsche historical reference (to the classic 1973 RS 2.7 for example), which I personally would miss. I think these graphics have a trendy look that won't age well versus a classic one that will stand the test of time.

Where's the poll ? Usually boxes at top to check....

Anyway, my vote ? They're horrible
Even more of an issue if they truly are painted on and not removable

Not going to say horrible but they would be painted over ASAP...re-sale be damned. The only color combo I could see leaving alone is CW with gold...iffy still.

HAHA this is definitely a love hate thing. I like them. The car has a much more hardcore appearance than other P cars and the graphics match the look.

I can do without the lettering on the rear panel and the painted front, but everything else looks good!

The RS is more of a wild child and I think the graphics give it that extra rebellious look... It may not be the pure clean Porsche classic look however it is the rowdy P car... Had I seen it before buying the GT3 I may have gone with it instead...Don’t get me wrong I am in love with my new GT3 and may even have graphics made to put on mine. Just the side graphic in black or dark grey to match the wheels and maybe GT3 on fenders… nothing on mirrors or front… But I like the out of the box type stuff and it is not for everyone for sure... Anyone care to photoshop them on the side of my car??

Not sure what the look is suppose to be, looks like a RSR or CUP but without most of the decals.

The graphics aren't for everyone, but neither is the car. Can you imagine how much extra work it would be to paint the graphics vs slapping on some decals?

That being said... I'm partial to the grey/black w/ red & the blue w/ gold.

I LOVE IT!!!
The GT3RS will be unique and finally has its own distinction from the GT3.
You guys that are nay-sayers I feel can not think out of the box.
Like Luis said, if Porsche thought of it this way, it has a purpose.
If you change it you'll *** it up.

IMHO the car is perfect and if I can get an allocation I want a white with red unit.
The wing is awesome, it's RSR-like for the street/track.

I can not say it enough, the car is perfect.

Sorry guys

Ranger

It should be optional....

At the end your shelling out probably $150K+ for a car. What other high performance marque is shoving graphics like this on their customers?

Give me blue or gray w/gold with no graphics. I think its too busy to have the lettering on the fenders. Oh and I'd paint the front grill the base color as well.
