Well, none are scale models of my 1:1 but as you can tell I'm a fan of the brand. The white Cayman comes close but mine is black and an S. I guess the white GT3R is closest to the 997.
I just realized I actually have a 918 spyder tucked in there. I wonder how close those acid green calipers are to the real thing in terms of a color match. I've been meaning to do my brakes and mirrors in acid green.

Set up a google alert for it, or check ebay regularly and you will find one - It may not be in the same color as your car, but you can always paint it if you like. RJT, that collection is huge!!

If you are talking about side decals that say carrera then you have 2 options
1. You can buy decal paper that you use on a laser pinter to make your own decals. Clear film with printed image. You can then use special decal fluid to make the clear part pretty much disappear and the printed part look painted on.
It takes a little practice. You just cant do white letters without a special printer.
2. Get a vinyl decal made. Its like a rub on transfer but with vinyl.
Go to http://www.callie-graphics.com/
send her a picture of what you want, tell her the scale of the car, and any other info like door dimensions and she will cut out the decal and send it to you.
I'ved had alot of decals made and her work is really great and very low cost.
