Default Added rear wing end plate decals and air duct decals to my GT4...pictures...

Trying to break up the white and stay with the black/white thing my GT4 has going on. Probably not to everyone's taste. Still haven't decided if I'm going to leave them on but so far I like it. Don't want to pimp my ride too much though. Ordered them from designstuffonlineuk, took quite a while to ship from the UK to California, but the quality is excellent. Thoughts? Be gentle.

Looks good. It’s easy to say screw what other people think but it’s easier for me to say it than to live it

Have you considered wrapping more of the wing black? You could also try just using black 4.0 lettering in the white side for a more subtle look.

These cars are all fun and I personally love it when people make them their own. Whatever form that takes.

I think it looks good. I think it would look better with maybe RSNV risers 😂. Everyone has different taste, but I dig it. Originally, I did the same with mine, but my car is Gentian Blue.

Now I just replaced all sorts of stuff. Wing, hood, interior parts, performance, list goes on. So far havent heard anything bad, but I’m sure some people are like wtf. Enjoy your car and just keep all the stock parts.

Nice touch @remington breaks up the white and I think it gives the wing a bit more definition.

Granted, it's a 981 but I like the black and white color scheme and the black end plates balance it out.


... and after

Got mine from designstuffonlineuk as stated above, and he does custom work also I'm sure he could do a 4.5.

Update from OP...also added porsche graphics on the doors. I'm done now, no further stickers. But happy with the look. I do enjoy "doing" things to the car as it is my hobby, and I can now add decal application to my skills list as I learned a lot about how to do it being a rookie at it. First side took me 90 minutes LOL, I did it using the wet technique which I do not recommend, second side took me 30 minutes doing it dry.

Decal combo almost identical to what I I'll be ordering for my soon to arrive CMW GT4, minus the GT4 inserts, and a change to from 4.0 to GT4 side decal on the wing.
I have the Satin Aurum wheels/Black calipers on my build, and I'm debating whether I should go with black decals, or tie in the wheels with gold.... last Im adding the PORSCHE Curved upper wing decal in the matte white finish so it will be a subtle pop when you see the wing at the right angle.

What I really need is simply the '4.0' in silver (to match my wheels) at a stand alone decal . . . unable to come across such offering on the market as of yet. I guess I could get a paint shop to paint the '4.0' in silver, but not sure I want to spend that much money or make a permanent commitment to the '4.0.' I like the idea of an inexpensive, quick and reversible decal.

I've came across 4.0 "letters only", in all colors on one of the sites I visited - I'm sure my searches for the best combo decal set will land me on that site again, so I'll remember to link it for you. In the meantime, just find out what the font code is and have your local vinyl guy cad/cut a set out. This should be relativity cheap.
