Any decent shop should be able to match. I would go for the GMG RSR bar if they still make that one. I've got it in the RS and it's very nice quality. GMG might actually be able to get it painted prior to shipping. Check w Fabryce or James there.

Congrats on the Touring 22L car. Man, we must be up to at least a half dozen Oak Green cars?

Just when I thought that nothing could top my love for Auratium Green you choose this. Huge congrats to you; looking forward to seeing more photos of this.

Well that's weird. Was just there. And sitting in that restaurant just a couple tables removed. Have no recollection of seeing that car.

I took that pic in the fall of 2017, just after I submitted my final build on my allocation. I had only seen samples of Oak Green before that. Then at the top of the escalator was that 911 owned by Ferry Porsche and I knew I had made the right choice.

Default My First Mod...a little Personal CXX

Added RennDecal last night and this morning...Alexio you must be a miracle worker if you got this done on the side of the road in Austria...It took me forever, mainly just getting the alignment where I wanted it. The color match is just about perfect and I needed something to tie the PCCB into the rest of the car (otherwise I felt like they were a little dominated by all the red from the brake lights in the rear 3/4 view). It seemed to turn out pretty well, though I ordered another set from RennDecals this morning as it wasn't quite perfect. We'll see how motivated I get...nice thing about DYI is if you change your mind later it's only $50 bucks in decals and a little (or a lot) of time.

Thank you for the very kind words...I do love Auratium Green as well, but Oak just pops in the sun and that is what won me over

The stripe really ties it all together! Nicely done!

Couple other common options... need to up my CXX game to keep up with you pros, but plan on keeping this baby a long long time.
My first GT3 (really my first Porsche - though my dad has always driven a Porsche so this has been a dream long in the making....)
Congrats! Looks beautiful.

For the same reasons, I did a similar DIY also on just the Porsche script.

How hard are those decals to apply? Mine should be coming in any day now.

Pretty easy in terms of application. I did some Renndecals stuff on my GT4. Most challenging part is lining up and getting the side stripes level. Use a sharp exacto knife for cutting. It's actually fun and rewarding. Good YouTube videos out there on how to apply.

Choose Grass Green so that I could finally conclusively identify every green on the PTS list.

Hardest part definitely is lining things up correctly.

I choose 1.5 cm up from the bottom of the door - that was the hardest part for me - there was nothing online that showed definitively how far up from the bottom of the door the stripe started.
Also, the middle (1.75" in on the 3.5" letters) of the second letter in Porsche closest to the front of the car (depends on the side) was 12 inches from the door jam at the level of the midpoint of the stripe
Lots of painters tape. Lots of taking off and re-applying...
Very much a measure twice and cut once thing.

Any of these measurements should be verified and re-adjusted if they don't look right to you....
