Love them or hate them...whatever

The right side of the car is VERY strange.
In the profile shot it appears that the RS decal was removed or touched away.
Looks good, sans RS graphic!

In every other shot the RS graphic is atop the the front fender and viewed from
eye level the script will be upside down & backwards....WTF????

This had to be a great debate around the boardroom table..

TRAKCAR

Hate them, liked the old one much better.
Specially the front lipstick. I hope they can leave them off.

Actually I like the old ones look better all the way around, front, rear, the spoiler, everything.... This car is better, sure, but the look went wrong....

whoever decided to put decals on the fenders should be handed a bucket with warm water and squeege and be told his job is now washing windows

The stickers are even more "boy racer" than those on the 1st gen. At least they can be removed...

Max Power

the lipstick reminds me of the DBR9

I can not believe that Porsche will offer this on the production car. Does it have neon lights under the car? Looks like a RC toy. Fugly as anything out there.

Is this the official press release?

Carrera GT

Nice pick-up Jonesy. I remember looking at a 911 with the "pouring on" graphics look -- it only works from one perspective (good enough for static advertising.)

+1

When I saw the gold wheels/decals on the other thread the first thing that came to mind was Subaru WRX STi. The aluminum wing supports are seen daily around here on Hondas and Nissans.

I love the 997.1 RS. So far this one....not so much. At least these things can be corrected.

Order a grey black RS (or white is always classy), paint the wheels (and other items) black, powdercoat the aluminum wing supports black and leave the decals at the dealer.

NJ-GT

The car looks ugly, and even without decals, the colors don't go with the car (except white).

I guess that the 997.1 RS graphics will be in high demand, and people will be ordering this car without decals.

What were they thinking? Aqua Blue for an RS? dark gray plain color? What happened to Green, Orange, Riviera Blue, Silver, Black?

Turbo4ever

again, WTF with the red lip?

MJones

Don't like the Red lip...
Your other choice is White Gold Metallic...


That area may be painted as well, like the mirrors and endplates

Crazy Canuck

Look back 20 yrs to models from the late 80s.

911, 928 & 944 IIRC

Nizer

Yellow calipers are really going to clash...

Turbo4ever

white gold is ugly too, PTS or just white for me. No lipstick and boy racer thing.
