I'm thinking about putting some martini stripes on my matte grey metallic wrapped 6.3! You guys wi probably give me a hard time? LOL.
I really like the look of this.

That looks great. Thanks for posting, I'll probably go with the wider stripes that you have and a big Martini logo on the hood. Might go with the low stripe on the doors and bumper instead of the ones you have. I'll post pictures when done.

1. GT3RS side foils
2. GT3RS decklid badge
3. Personalized plate that reads "GT3RS"

So my question is why? The only person (sure there might be a small number of exceptions to this rule) that really knows the difference between at GT3 and GT3RS is the Porsche enthusiast so why do this to your car when those of us in the know just shake our heads?

I didn't take a picture of it but here is a screen capture from some video when we were on track together.

Just trying to understand the rationale for this.
It's a bit over the top, from my perspective, too. However, I confess to rebuilding a 1990 Carrera 4 after an accident into a RS and I badged it as a Carrera 4 RS, which really doesn't exist. I didn't feel too shameful about that as it was a unique beast.
