I personally, would think about having it painted body color. All that plastic gives the perception that the car is much higher off the ground than it really is. But you also bring up a VERY valid point about the sun damage and greying. My Toyota FJ Cruiser has that same type of plastic around the wheel wells and also as trim along the doors and every 4-6 months or so I need to give it a good going over with Back-To-Black. It's kind of annoying.

I'm in the black plastic camp...black contrasts with lava beautifully...with black wheels of course...works for silver and white cars too.

This car definitely needs more naked carbon fiber on its exterior.

150% agree with you there!!!! I'd like to see the black plastic on the rear decklid also made of CF. I think one of the aftermarket companies can have a fun time making some things for this car in CF! Also side mirror housings and the Turbo scoops done in cf. Those pieces and the rear apron all in CF might be nice looking. The rear apron might be too much and make it over the top, would have to see pics of it first.

PX = Porsche Exclusive
GO = Geschäftsbereich Oeffentlichkeitsarbeit and not "Geschäftsleitung Oeffentlichkeitsarbeit" (afaik; but not really important) equals more or less "marketing" I would say ...

Look at that wheel gap, terrible. It needs to be dropped on springs.

that actually looks 100x better than rs. plus it's form follows function.
rs' track performance will be marginal over standard gt3. maybe 2 to 3 seconds tops on average track. rsr is another 10 seconds quicker. that is spray the mumm difference.

the bottom rear valance on the new rs looks plain wrong. the vents are too squared off and ugly.
i reckon the rear could have been better resolved.
of course it's gonna drive nice, so who cares? but in years to come, it will date pretty quick imo.
