Just slap some R decals on it and put it on Dupont for $1M. Most buyers won't know the difference. Say it's the rare PDK-S option.

The black screws , being the 3 m6 x 25 lower and 2 shorter upper per side , are available for order from Porsche (pick your favorite dealer) and not very expensive.
That's 6 lower, and 4 upper total.
Some people prefer Sharpie.

We did the same thing on our yellow GT4. It had black trim everywhere but had been spec’d with silver uprights (we did not spec it - bought from a dealer).
We learned that the gasket under the upright attaching the wing to the car was a “single-use” item. The race shop had to fabricate a new gasket which was thicker than the original. It took a bit of finessing but we got it perfectly reinstalled.
They also didn’t powdercoated the insides of the holes in the uprights that fasten the wing. The tolerances are tight and powdercoating would have changed the fastener fitment. We had zero issues the way it was done.
Obviously wing attachment on an RS is completely different than GT4 but if there are gaskets involved - be aware. With the fasteners you’ll want to be certain the fit is correct after the added thickness of powdercoating.
Enjoy!!
