^Yes sir, not a big guards fan, but GT3s (especially RS models) give me a chubb regardless of color

I'm sorry it's like I said before. Except for the wing it looks like a GT3.
I know the front fender but externally nothing is distinctive.
For Godsake it's an RS it has to scream and standout.
Oh well my 2 cents.

Add black wheels and kindergarten stickers and it will be just fine!

As colour is not part of the standard range, my guess is they would have to stop the production line at the body shop to specifically paint the guards red even though it is a standard paint colour... the interruption to the production process unfortunately actually costs something...

Really have to agree with you on that.... it is an RS for crying out loud. and yet it looks like a standard gt3 with a silly wing...

Isn't personal preference about how one paints their RS? I like the fact that it it subtle and doesn't have those silly stickers over it. What happened to individual taste? Now we have to conform to some community notion of what different models of Porsche should look like?

However, my old, 2007 GT3RS isn't exactly stealth.

Well said... thank you for that.

A GR RS is anything but 'stealth'; stickers or not.

Had a lot going on today, but I did make a stop by Roger Beasely to get some shots of this RS. Sorry that the pictures kind of suck, but I didn't have much time to check it out and the dealership isn't exactly on my side of town.

The car does have the red RS decals, that you cannot even see until you're right up on it. Interior is all black/alcantara, in other words perfect IMO. Guards has never been my favorite porsche color, but this car looks damn good.--JC

I agree with the notion to produce your car the way one wishes. These cars are unique already and this one could be a one of a kind too.

I am in line with not wanting "LOOK AT ME DAMN IT". I have not been a huge fan of the loud decals since the first pics came out. To each their own.

The remark about "silly wing" is perplexing. It's an RS through and through no matter if it screams so with bright graphics.

Thanks for the pics. They look good enough. I really like the shadow like graphics. Maybe they will make both sides of the debate happy.

Guards Red, so the "lips", wing and mirror match
Ghost decals
Silver wheels

Absolutely brilliant !

I bet it was someone that ordered it and thought he was going to turn around and make a nice fast profit on it. And then when he saw how the market looks he probably dropped it. Back to the car, I would love to have this. I think the red graphics on top of the guards red must look real cool it just doesn't show all that well in pictures

Actually, he just has too many toys and not enough garage space. In some peoples world, this would be a "low priority" toy.

The red over red is smoking hot.
