The only thing I see that can fix it, is either go black, or polish the carbon hood and then put the protection materials again (if one wants the exposed carbon), get a normal carbon hood, or just wrap it.
What was Porsche thinking? On providing a slight ugly version of the car in a pretty good value package so people have a desire for the other non-wp package, so they don't have to make so many titanium and magnesium wheels and make the 'flex' money happy by saving them some bucks trying to make stupid color schemes? They could just add exclusive colors or a side stripe.

i did ask Porsche Exclusive (CXX) about a Weissach spec car in the standard colour scheme (no stripes), but it doesn't seem to be possible.

Is the lack of the FIA approval on the Ti cage simply due to Porsche not submitting one for crash testing (or perhaps due to not having the front cage section) rather than it being less structurally effective comparing rear cages only? It would be somewhat peculiar if the Ti cage was really inferior...

I also prefered the look of the non-wp car, until my wife pointed out the car looked unfinished with black hood (specced miami blue). Spec locks in about 2 weeks - think only black car works with non wp.

However, if/when one goes to sell, while the WP won’t probably pay for itself, the Wp cars will be much more desirable.. the non-WP will have to get comparatively discounted in order to move.

I don't know, to be honest, even tho I trust Porsche, I trust more FIA, this is a very niche problem inside a niche car, but some people do run their cars very hard and nothing better than at least an approved roll cage with the front extensions.
At the end of the day, most people run their cars on track without even half a roll cage, here in europe, pretty much everyone run their gt3 and gt2 with half a roll cage, if that, I don't remember someone dying in a gt3 with half a cage, so it probably won't be a problem.
Just a weird thing and a 'hassle' for those 5-10 crazy dudes running their gt2rs in Porsche sportscup.
