Yeah I went in the opposite direction on my GT3, it came with reds and I swapped them out for clears ... just looks better on a blue car IMO...

No kidding, although I can offset that easily with 12 oz. On the right. On vacation now and that seems to be helping.

I am extremely biased for the ducktail, having driven one around for 2 years recently. It will be unique, I was constantly asked what kind of "special" Porsche I had. There are a lot of 911's in DFW and I really liked having a special look. I never regretted getting it.
And it looks GREAT on the bright colors and white. Sapphire blue is drop dead gorgeous in person.

I'm thinking of also painting the rear facia now, I think it will show off the new matte exhaust tips better

I took a closer look after your suggestion. I think that the black exhaust tips get lost with or without the rear facia painted, and the blacked out look is a bit more aggressive and cohesive with the rest of the car to my eye. Very nuanced and subjective though. Have you considered painted side skirts?

good points - I'll take a look at the side skirts, although if the stock market keeps going the way it has over the last couple of days my GTS will be 1:18th
