Can someone do a photo shop for Raclaims?

I say put them on. You paid for them. You an always take them off.

My car just has "RS" on the side behind the rear wing and on the back. More low key if thats possible with this car.

Shelf life? Was going to order a back up set of decals for years down the road. Not worth doing?

In short, no. The adhesive easily dries out. They're so cheap aftermarket, I would never roll the dice on the pricey oem ones to put in a drawer.
Maybe if you kept them sealed,out of the light, in a humidor...I don't have the time for that

At first I was sold on installing them. I have a white RS and I felt it looked unfinished without the decals. Then I ordered a good quality set aftermarket and could not pull the trigger on putting them on. To do it right you need to install them under your clear wrap (Xpel) so they last I do think I will install the Porsche logo on the wing though.

I have to disagree with one point...re installing the graphics UNDER your clear wrap. The point of vinyl is the fact that it's super easy and I expensive to change, repair, etc... I have also spoken to more than a few vinyl installers and this is a common sentiment.
But, heck...it's a free world...lol. So do what makes YOU happy.

I think if they are OEM decals you should just wait a bit and try out some non oem cheaper options.. If you are unsure, get a friend or wrapping company to send you some photo-shopped images.. At the end of the day its just a sticker and can easily be replaced/removed..

I went for something slightly different on mine Although pictures dont do justice, looks so much meaner in real life.. I havnt added any side decals because im still unsure on what to add, also feel it might look too busy.. Just not a fan of the vintage side decals or 997 decals on the 991 :/
