I don't think it is hard to see the distinguishing features.

GT3 is much lower than Carrara and has the centre exhuast and front air intake.

I just hate all those GT3 or GT3RS logo on everywhere, the car speak for itself.

Coming from BMW & Mercedes, which their logos are everywhere and cheap, I always wonder why the Porsche logo caps are so expensive? I'd expect the 'GT3' caps cost more than the color crest ones but it's the other way around...

Hmmm...9 for me if counting those GT3 wheel caps.... Better keeps those wheels rolling so nobody sees them.

And don't forget the sound of the exhaust, too! It was enough to make a few Porschephiles and others to roll down their windows to see what the heck is it? Happened to me a few times...

As for the number of GT3 or RS logos, I think it's just about the right amount at adequate locations, especially compare to BMW ///Ms, MB AMGs. Ferrari even has an option of adding 'the shields' at premium. I know some wouldn't even consider buying one without the them, even myself. Would you?

Again it's a matter of personal taste as one can add or remove them as needed.

The rear decklid is also different between the 2. For the GT3, the air scoops are attached to the decklid. For the aerokit, it's all 1 piece.

I like colored Porsche crest and "the shields" for factory logo, but I can't stand so many model logo like "GT3" "GT3 RS" "F430" on the body or wheels. For example, I don't think you can add more "F430" logo on a Ferrari. I feel surprise that now Porsche is offering the "side model decal" for all Porsche. Looks cheap to me.

Bella Eric did a kick *** job!!! I would like that on my 911. I wonder what a gt script would look like
with a Black GT and silver 3, doesnt sound right but I wonder if there is a combo like that would work.
