Default Would this livery look good on the RS?

My white RS is scheduled to arrive late Feb/early March. It will have a white roll cage and white wheels. I don't want to go for the typical Martini livery (although it will look good) but want something different instead. I was thinking of this livery from the 1998 GT1. It might be a "bit" too busy but given this is already an RS, might as well go no holds barred.

Oh and yellow headlight film too

Very fun and aggressive. However, RS is already out there. But on a track car, absolutely.

I agree, it's too much. I do like the gt3 RS script along the lower edge of the car that some are doing

A bit much. Maybe some subtle Martini colors along the rockers and over the rear fender openings. I've seen this on a 997.1 GT3 and it was impressive.

Not my taste....but hey man... If it's vinyl it can be changed rather easily... And why not try something crazy and a bit 'too much'..? Bottom line, it's your car, you only live once and just have fun with it!
No matter what you do, it's sure to put a smile on your face when you're behind the wheel!

If this is for a street car, I say do it. Nothing says Wannabe Boy Racer more than a cage, belts, and a full race livery. Perfect for the next C&C...

Lol,

I wouldn't want to be seen driving down the street with a race car livery. But, we are all different.

Same as yellow headlights. Street car with yellow headlights is a big Nono for me. On track when I see yellow headlights approaching. I put my hand out of window. cup car coming.

Honestly I would never do it, but Im very conservative with cars, I love when others explore new things and try cool things out, would love to see how this would turn out, and encourage you to try it out if you really like it.
