^^^ I believe it looks just right like that in the black plastic. It just hides it enough, yet breaks the lines up a bit vs painted the same colour as the car.

Thought, Doesn't the diffuser uprights behind the wheels catch a lot of road pebbles?? the painted ones will get chipped up quickly, guess you could xpel them

True, but the black plastic hides it....painted colors would be a lot more prominent

Exactly, mine are even pitted a bit and I'm careful where I drive, no rough roads for me.

Don't like the Swiss white painted car. IMO it look like an aftermarket tuner kit from the front.

Looks good the black plastic on the GT3RS is tough on the eyes.

Is there a matte carbon supplier that's reasonable vs paint also cf fenders vents and air scoops.

GT3RS needs an exterior carbon package.

Ordered the gurneys on the group buy they are a nice touch that work.

Curious what roll bar you installed any pics?

I think CF is probably the best fit for all the black plastic ... I wish the fender vents weren't glued in and an easy swap was possible, because the CF look there is just awesome.

Not a fan of the painted plastic bits, looks weird and too tall to me...the plastic parts are where you'll get the most debris and stone damage, I'm glad they designed it this way, my 997 gt3 had a lot of stone chips in the back of the wheel arches/bumpers & side sills, hated that.

I think it makes it look much better. I think the people who don't like it, just aren't used to it yet. But I bet once they get used to it or see it in person, they'll like it. It reminds me of the 997.1 GT3RS's rear bumper and how it has kind of the dual plane lines that are similar with the 991's when painted.

no right or wrong here guys. Painted, not painted..... try it, don't try it. Try it...don't like it? Change it back. Experimenting with different things is part of the fun in my opinion.

Bottom line... you really can't go wrong. Unless you stick a hood scoop on the front hood!!!! ; )

I kinda dig it. I feel it helps do way with the tall look of the rear. If you are worried if road rash, then like someone else said just put ppf on it.
