I'd follow Porshces lead... The GT3 came in blue with gold or red accents. I've seen the gold and it looked nice. Red not so much.

wow that's nice photoshopping skills!

yea i did some lime green photoshopping and it looked pretty nasty...

however, i also did Red.. and oh my, Dark blue with Red... much nicer than what the white would look.

and just curious.. yes i KNOW my car isnt a GT 3. but can ONLY GT3's have a body kit? racing stripes? i'm not plastering a decal that says GT3 RS on it...

I think it would look real classy and subtle in deep red or maybe almost maroon. White, yellow, lime green and maybe the orange is a bit too splashy with the deep blue for my liking. A lighter blue car would be better with the flashier lighter colors. Strangely enough I could see the flashier colors going well on a black car.

What's your hangup with the GT3-look? Porsche has built more than their share of turbo-look 911s - why's that any better than a GT3-look 996?

"I'm a peacock! You gotta let me fly!"

One takeaway from this thread is that your resale value is going to drop like a stone if and when you do this; it appears the car's appeal will become more selective. Something to ponder.

I prefer the aero kit over the vw bug look any day. And just an FYI Imo the aero kit is offered by PORSCHE... its not something we took off a civic and made it fit to our cars.
On the other hand anybody can do what ever they want to their cars, who are we to judge.

Subzero were you in the Montrose area last week?
