Default Replacement GT3 RS 4.0 Exterior Decals?

Just picked up a 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0. I want to replace the XPEL but to it right I really need to order a new set of the 4.0-specific decals. Suncoast doesn't show them available for sale. Does anyone know if I can order these still from Porsche? It's not the end of the world, but the front bumper has yellowing XPEL on it and there are some silver decals underneath. And then part of the side decals are on top of the film in front of the rear wheels.

The decals on the front bumper are underneath the clear coat and cannot be removed.

Here are the p/n I think you need for decals in front of the rear wheels:
driver side: 997 559 337 92 https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...9755933792dri/
passenger side: 997 559 338 92 https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...9755933892dri/

Can anyone confirm this is correct?

Thank you. I would love it if the front decals are in fact under the clear coat as then I can remove the yellowing XPEL without removing them! I will also ask my local dealer. Sometimes I just feel like they know less than I do (and I know very little).

All part numbers listed in the link. If you need help finding anything on the parts diagram, let me know. Outside of PTS cars, these should be applicable, since for instance a PTS RS 4.0 in orange is going to have a black outline and silver stripe. Not the traditional red outline and silver stripe.

If you didn't want to go OEM or it was NLA (which it appears to be available), then you could contact a company like KI Studios. I have no personal experience, but have heard of them mentioned many times.

Congrats on the purchase.

This is perfect. Thank you so much! Not PTS so these will work!
