Default Least ugliest color to go with WP?



Excluding Black, White, Chalk and GT Silver, what color blends most well with WP's CF hood?

Open to RLer's opinion on this subject.

Thinking of going Red. Never had a red car but a loud color seems fitting for the car's personality. Silver and black work great but seems a little tame. According to a person at PCNA, a 1/3 of the orders placed so far have been LG, which is not surprising. Have to say for me the green interior option was a bit disappointing in person.
Still have a while before it locks and will definitely do the WP.

Excluding black, none. WP looks horrible. It makes the car look 2 dimensional, like a cardboard cutout of the real RS.

Agree that WP without the painted stripes just look horrible on this car.

I'm struggling big time. If I could land a PTS I would, short of that I'm thinking Miami Silver or Crayon. LG+WP looks hideous to me. But that's just one man's taste...

I'd wrap the hood. Stealth WP = cool.

Black.

Every other color has an aftermarket tuner look to it with WP.

Curious how those who dislike he look feel/felt about the 997 GT2RS.

I'm on the brave side with colors (e.g. Guards Red GT3 with green decals as former daily and Miami Blue with black aerokit Turbo as a daily now), but WP looks good only with black and maybe white no-colors.

complete struggle. Wish Porsche would have gotten more creative and subtle on the WP. I would have taken Carbon ducts and intakes over the full carbon hood anyday. WP hood and carbon roof do nothing for the car.

Only color that I would order it with is white. And it would have to be a no charge option like the Touring on the GT3. Weight savings is not that great and price is crazy. But with the choices you gave us I would have to go with red.
