Default anyone seen this on a 991 GT3?

Just saw pics on autogespot. New GT3 in black with factory-looking matte Porsche crest, GT3 on right front fender and left rear quarter, and Crest on the roof, and PORSCHE on the wing. Perhaps overkill but looks cool nonetheless. I assume that it's aftermarket? I didnt see on my build options.

Not sure if you really need that much signage to inform people its a PORSCHE.

The Porsche on the wing reminds me of the RS. Subtle--I like it.

I like the wing as well, but would skip the rest.

I love the wing and like the fender but the rest is indeed much.

Oh god.. Here goes.

I've seen awesome stencils on. Friends cars, which used plastidip to make graphics like this... Don't buy from Porsche, expensive and more permanent. I really like the gt3 script on the inside of the front fender. The rest is overkill IMO

Stamping GT3 or Porsche all over the car is a sign of insecurity by the owner. I understand what you drive can define you but this is taking it beyond reasonable. The car looks comical.

At least the factory doesn't have porsche equivalent of scuderia badges on the front fenders. In fiat circles if you buy a car w/o the extra validation of those yellow tattoos resale suffers multiples of 10k.

-Good one. (does he have PORSCHE on the roof as well?, just in case a plane gets lost and flies over the house, maybe add name and how much you can bench press on the bonnet just in case) .. Just add the price in pink, and how few models built on the left door and it should be read to go..Ohh, maybe keep left door free to mark how many Cali dime's pulled on the strip -- Actually that looks fine to me. Subtle with the flat color. But I've seen others get carried away. and might be better off just getting GT3 tat on forehead.. to same some $.

I prefer a clean white look, but maybe the fender script alone would be a nice addition. Agree that this guy seems to have some shortcomings...

I like it. I'd have skipped the crest on the roof but the Porsche on the wing is a nice nod to the 997.2 RS 4.0 and the GT3 script is a nice hat tip to the 997.2 RS 3.8. The fact that they were done in Matte Black keeps it subtle. Yep, I like it (sans roof crest).

Some say...that if the Titanic had been dipped in plastidip, that iceberg would have sank instead...
