So the car will be Guards Red with black wheels and black graphics. What do you think???? Would it look better with dark grey metallic wheels and graphics?
I put on 2k10 RS side decals and thinking of putting on the rest of 'GT3 RS' stickers. I went for guards red/black color scheme. I will take some photos and show it to you here if it helps you. My OZ Ultraleggera should be here soon, tomorrow or next week, thinking of painting them in black too.

Only white and aqua don't cost. The Gray/Black on my car costs like $3700 extra or close to that. So $5500 isn't all that bad compared to that, but it is all high. I would bet that 99% of that cost is profit.

Yes Porsche has a way of making a lot of money on their options! Painted interior pieces cost a fortune, I just had my stereo guy do mine for very little money.

Yes, it is a bit much for being unique but IMO will be well worth it. When/if you sell down the road I feel the special color will come back as a good investment. Well, as good as a car can get.

Porsche pricing ... gotta love it.
On a normal GT3 it is a no-cost color.
