After driving it I have to agree. Not worried about putting on the miles. Keeping this thing forever.

First mod completed. Removed "PORSCHE" across the top windshield.

removing the sticker just cost you 5hp!

congrats on the car.
i love my 997.2 GT3, but would definitely like to add a RS at some point.

Awesome car! I love that color.

I went over the graphics on PPF. Initially I just had the front done, but got a couple of surface scratches, then had the paint buffed and did the whole car. Very happy with the result.

You can see the edge of the wrap over the stickers. My stickers were also CXX to match the wheels, mirrors, etc. which made the decision easier.

Similar situation here. The front is covered and the graphics actually look great with a perfect halo around the lettering. I may take off the old PPF and do the whole car but I'm nervous that the graphics will come up when the current PPF comes off.

You will never regret that purchase my friend! Huge congratulations, and good luck wiping the perma-smile off your face.

These RS 3.8s are for the ages.

Many thanks. After one day of driving - milestone car seems to perfectly describe the experience it creates.

I opted for the graphics delete model but now I want graphics after seeing your photos!
