GT3 RS.2..no flex from Porsche even on decals

My dealer told me today that Porsche has said there will be no changes to RS colors offered, and Porsche will not even do a delete on decals. Has anyone any better specific dealer info?

Spray some soap water on the decal and it will peel right off

Yup. They can be easily removed as long as they are not paint on. these crazy pink RS logos are growing on me a bit

The color choices are really limited. I like the way the car looks with white/red and gray/red. The decals are growing on me.

that is interesting. should be less manhours for porsche factory not to stick the decals. given the economy you would think they'd be glad when a customer don't want them on.

You haven't heard? It was part of the Germany's economic stimulus package to hire retired VW facotry worker who can't afford to retire to paste these stickers on the RS lol

That's fantastic news!

If I bought a Ferrari Stradale, I would not have ordered the stripes. Five years later, those striped Stradales look so much better than the regular Stradales. Knowing this, I would order the RS with whatever is considered factory original without modifications.

So are there only three colors for the RS? Grey, white or black? I bet it'll look wicked in black with those red accents.

I don't think they will worry about the sales of RS, too many people want it.

The other color is Aqua blue...

I'm not a fan of the checkered side graphics although I feel the blue with the silver looks great. Ties in with the Spoiler mounting nicely. Black with silver graphics may be a winner.
