I’m looking to buy a full Weiss Gold decal set for the 7.2 RS.
My local dealer quotes above $2k, I know they can also be bought from sun coast for a little cheaper than that but I was hoping to find a more affordable alternative (they are only decals after all).
KI Studios and Carrera Design do not carry these kits. I found two shops out of the UK (Highgate House UK and Design Stuff Online) who carry the kits but they are using a cast wrap film from Hexis. I was able to get a sample of the Hexis film and the color was just not close enough to the factory Weiss gold for my liking.
Has anyone sourced these recently?

You can likely save a bit of money by going to one of the other parts suppliers (Sunset Porsche Parts, Delaware Porsche Parts, GetPorscheParrs). Suncoast I’ve found to typically be higher. You’ll need to find the part numbers though. Suncoast does that work for you.
I previously inquired about the white gold RS decals. The color code is owned by Porsche so vinyl and decal companies cannot reproduce that exact color in their own film. There are close variants like what you've found but no exact match. This is why companies like KIStudios do not offer it. If you want an exact match, you have to buy OEM unfortunately which is costly.
If your car was factory white/gold to me it makes no sense to use anything other than OEM just to save a few bucks on a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s not a used Subaru.
6 posts since May 2020 (I like it,... private guy),.. but looks like OP has paid up now.
.... just keep in mind there are some of us out here that have been paying for many years, but recently decided to give it a break due to the mod purge2.0
I'll probably renew,... but the penalty I'm serving them (IB), will take just a little longer
I'm a member. Can you tell me?
Have some dirt trapped under the edges. Not a good look
give a shout out to Anthony at NS2 Media. He helped me source a complete set of decals from a expert in Europe for my RS. Perfect match factory quality. Good luck! https://rennlist.com/forums/members/...ra-design.html
Thank you to those who provided constructive responses to the question. Love that I got roasted for looking for an alternative to spending $1,500 on decals/stickers. By the looks of it, Michael Adair’s beautiful red car sold by switchcars didn’t have factory stickers and that car sold for $300k+, looks like the market was ok with it.
I should have clarified in my original post that KI Studio & Carrera Design (Anthony @ N2S Media) do not carry the white gold decals (they do carry the kits in general). The UK companies I listed were provided to me from Anthony @ N2S as options to explore. Anthony was very helpful and so were the contacts in the UK he suggested I reach out to who sent me the sample in the attached OP photos. Additional, I’ve used KI studios in the past for Guards Red 7.2 3RS decals and was very happy.
I’ll reach out to WrappedbySB (mention in this thread) to see what they say about White Gold.
It’s looking like OEM is the only way to go for true white gold. I’ll report back if I find anything additional.

First, the red RS is PTS body color. Likely the overriding interest in the car. Second, the decals were black. Black is black.
White/gold while not PTS is a rare factory combination. Second, the gold color used for the RS decals is proprietary. Its the factory gold that sets the car apart not the body color. A faux white/gold RS will not have the value of a true factory white/gold RS. Thus if you want a $300k+ car to be correct and the correct white/gold requires spending .005% of its value on OEM parts thats what I would do as the main interest others will have in the white gold RS as compared to other RS’s is the white/gold and that it’s the correct color, cut and material i. e. Factory.
If you can match the decals (fenders and sides) as to cut/shape, material and color exactly with a third party for $1000 less then yes, I’d go for it. But if not…no way.
