I was going back and forth on PTS but the lack of painted stripes ultimately made me decide against it. The launch color is a beautiful combo so I just went with that.

good decision. I was also struggling. But it’s not acceptable to pay 300.000€ and extra for PTS and getting like sticker stripes.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the white lollipop stickers with numbers on the doors?

leave on or take off?

at first I was adamant the car looks more subtle and stylish without but after seeing the launch car so many times with the stickers on the doors it feels like it belongs on the car

interested to hear peoples opinions and why

I think it is largely spec dependent. On the launch car spec they look great, but on some PTS or darker colors I think it may look better without. As always too with these things it is largely personal preference.

I wouldn't get one without the sticker.

It's part of the quiddity of the SC ethos.

They look white but are actually light grey. I think they look good and will match the painted stripes in same colour on my PTS. Will make a final decision when it goes for PPF though as they are stickers and can be removed.

My spec is currently identical to the launch car including the #60.

One of the best things about ordering a car new is the opportunity to spec it exactly to your taste.

Speccing it to rennlist taste only makes sense if you are planning on selling the car or concerned about resale.

Most importantly, congrats on getting an allocation. Many happy miles and smiles!

I've chosen sport classic grey for that reason - I found the stripes too contrasting on the darker shades, let alone the side decals.
PS I love the work you do - it's really inspiring. I would have loved to be more adventurous with PTS if the painted stripes were possible for me as well
... have you thought about doing a render of sportclassic grey with just the IRC "Porsche" script on the side and no roundel/lollipop?

I'm thinking of doing the same.... or maybe the reverse - order without and then add later....hopefully we can get a decal match for the light grey

what do people tend to do with ppf and decals. My shop says its 50/50 with clients - some wrap over decals (acceptable on light coloured cars as don't notice the "outline" around decals).

Others remove all decals and replace after wrapping - this is what I did on my GT3RS as the decals were matte black on black.

nice! I'm launch spec too... vacillating on the #60 but very tempted

I'm starting to feel that way too... but also thinking I might feel self conscious with the stickers on the car while waiting to pick up my kids at the school carpark

Totally agree... and I do find it is helpful to ask how others come to their decisions in helping to make the final call... for example I initially had privacy glass optioned but now have thought twice about it and will instead go for a light ceramic aftermarket window tint instead as I think privacy will be too dark and contrasting. This was thanks to discussions in other threads.

.
On my Speedster I kept the side decals and did the PPF over them as for me its part of the car even more so as I went Launch spec as below. On the Sports Classic the painted stripes were a must have on PTS IMO its part of the car, at present I am minded to keep the side decals PPF over them but with no start no. On my RSs I had the PPF put over the top the same..
