you know, i think i like it with the decals.

it picks up on the black wheels..... now, if you were on BBS E88's (or any other non black wheel) i think no decals would be the look on a white gt3rs

Can't decide. Can I drive it both ways, then decide?

Please.

Looks good w/ decals. I'm pretty sure they come w/ the RS's. It's up to you whether to have the dealer put them on.

I like it with decals, but you can drive it both ways. All you need is an electronic file of your decals so that you can have several sets cut at a graphics shop. I can get about 20 sets for around $150.00.

Now you can put them on and take them off whenever you feel like it without having to pay the $700.00-$1,000.00 that Porsche charges for one complete set (is that price in the ballpark?).

If you learn to do it yourself (not that difficult IMO), you can install a set in an hour or two (experts in 30 minutes I would guess), and rip off a set in about 15 minutes or less (especially if you have a heat gun).

Or, you can do it the easy way and buy another white RS; just depends on how much you want to spend, and how much time you have!

When I ordered the car my dealer was not sure what the code was for the decals or if the decals came with the special option for the black wheels. The car was a late allocation and had to be ordered right away. So yes RS's do come from the factory in white and without decals.

White is the most expensive color for an RS if you believe it. The Decal is an extra cost option on top. Only Porsche can get away with this.
