I'm not a huge fan of the decals. They tend to remind me too much of the 70's and the old F-body I used to cruise in.

If your tracking the car it's fine. I'm sure most if not all GT3 RS's will find their way some race tracks. After all isn't that what the car was built for??

Well... maybe the one on the trunk is a bit too much... but that looks photoshoped (altered photo) to me...

The side factory stickers... those look awesome!!!

It does look like a bad PS job. The drivers side headlight has part of the sticker on it and the sticker sure doesn't look centered and level.

Regardless, I look past the sticker and have to say that silver and orange is quite nice!

the firechicken is a bit much but the std. decals are just fine - especially on the orange and green cars.

HAHAHA.

The bird decal makes your point, but yet I still disagree, I think the decals help make the car, especially with matching wheels.

I'm Mr. Conservative, so given the choice I'd go with a silver car, silver wheels, sans decals. And if I had to have decals, I'd like them to match the brake calipers...orange/yellow or orange/red is too much for me.

But the mandatory decals will make it a lot easier for me to be happy with the standard GT3, and save $15k in the process (there is no way I could justify paying $4,300 for the decal delete/white paint option).

I thought the same too, but the car is a special car and it should look special.
Not everyone's cup of tea though.

I do think the new Turbo is a bit 'Pontiac' in its styling...

I'd peel the GT3RS stickers of in a heartbeat.
