But if you plan to leave it then you wont have to worry about that. I think white is one of the colours that you should need to worry about paint fade and im sure they can wax out minor fading. Good luck and enjoy it. It loooks like a dream.
I like this look and am going to keep it

Thank you for accompanying me on this journey and thanx for the enjoyment wishes.

Great looking car, the decals are interesting and kinda funky, I really like the look.....

I just cannot get past those wheels and the aluminum wing plates. The OZ wheels were miles better looking and so was the RS wing.

The look you have now with the OZ wheels and wing done in matching colors would have looked deadly.

Might I ask a question. You have made so many differnt changes to the car in such a short amount of time. What possesses you to make so many changes so quickly.

Thank you Engine Guy for your honest reply.

Love to hear what other people would do in my shoes.

Too much red if I did all the mirrors, wing endplates, and the OZ wheels with the red middle stripe.

Now if I did a matte black or gloss black middle stripe, the the red mirrors
And red endplates could be added.

I still have the red OZ wheels and can always add those to the red middle
Stripe, but I think I'm gonna powder coat the OZ wheels a titanium silver color if I don't sell them. And the OZ wheels that wwlweewson my gy3 are currently for sale.

The look I had with the RS wing was a cool color combo, but I love the cup car look more.

No "in matching colors" I meant do the OZ wheels a different color and same with the end plates of the old wing. The color look you have now is cool, subtle yet racey.

I just do not like wheels with lips on these cars and the pattern hides to much of the brakes which I like to see. That style of wheel just looks old, like a 30 something hipster wearing grampa pants and suspenders.

I have some ideas planned for my new car when I get my hands on it, stripes, wing and such. I am actually excited about a car for the first time in a long time.

You never did answer my question about what possesses you.

Add Edit... Do know that it is you car and this is just my opinion, if it blows your hair back then Good on You.

Nice GT3! The only thing I have to ask is: why add the Michelin and Mobil 1 stickers? I get that you're going for the cup look, but why add the sponsors, unless they actually give you money? IMHO, I think it would look better without the sponsor stickers. Congrats on an excellent execution!

It's all about proportions and this GT3 shows it off . All of it. Great use of colors and shades and with a perfectly sized wheel in that fender. The car looks lower and more business like than the Porsches with larger - now 20 inch wheels - in the new 991 which looks hideous. This one is just beautiful!!!

@lopro:

Hope all is well.

haven't been on the boards much.

That video is old now. LOL

That guy that made the vid doesn't know what he was talking about. made assumptions I guess.... but it was amusing.

DBV: Michelin did partial sponsorship for tires. Graphics are off....they were only for the show.

DBV and hroussard: thanx for your kind words

The silver and red go together well, I think. Your GT3 looks sweet.
Looks like you're having fun-- the most important thing.
Cheers!
