Default GT3 RS w/ Martini Stripe

I just picked it up Saturday from VBD graphics. I know that some people have strong opinions regarding white, but I thought I would share some pictures anyway. VBD does outstanding work. The application was meticulous.

I love the side stripe, especially the curve over the rear wheel. Is that a design you came up with or designed by VBD?

VBD came up with the design.

I know you guys have seen the car before, but that was before the graphics. I just thought I would show everyone how it turned out.

That is frickin awesome! My only comment to the contrary would be that I would have done either the martini stripe of the RS foils but not both. Just to much going on I guess. Nonethelss, still very nice job!

ps. is that VBD advertisement in your graphics or just a watermark on their photo? Please tell me that is a wateramark on the photo.

Very nice.
I wouldn't want the vbdgraphics.com logo, but otherwise it's sweet.

I'm with LVDELL, I think the car would look better tons better without the GT3RS side foils along the rocker panels.

Way too much going on now.

Very unique indeed....I really like it.....would love to see it in person in case you get the itch to road trip it to sunny (pretty much all the time) San Diego. Enjoy!

My ... My ... My ... Now that's a beautiful car. Especially the side stripe curve over the rear wheel.



EDIT: Just daydreaming with curiosity: how much did it set you back by?

I would've done the side decals with Martini colors only but still, very cool!

BTW, I'd get rid of those rear bumperettes, especially with the stripes, they look so out of place.

Darrell,

Looks great. I agree with Finn that if it was my car, the side decals would be in Martini colors.

If you need any help putting break in miles on that car before your track event, I know a very responsible young enthusiast who would be happy to help.

Enjoy it!

That's a great way to take a common color (at least for the GT-3) and make it pop!

Better be fast! Everyone will be gunning for you! Sort of like Wyett Earp! (sp?)

Congratulations. Thats the way to make a GT3RS unique to you. See you at the track soon? What are your schedule plans? I am here in Delaware and plan to attend several events upcoming including the Zone 2 event at VIR. My GT3RS is on order but I must wait until August delivery. I would love to see one in person to help me in the waiting game. thanks Jon in Delaware
