Front wheel flairs look really cheap dispite the purpose they may serve. Should have been a sheetmetal change. Colors work IMHO...

+1. they should have done something like GMG offers for the front. The factory execution looks out of place.

I agree, the front fender flairs looks cheap and glued on...I would expect more detail for a car costing this much. However I'd still buy 1 if I could! :-)

Without having seen one in person yet, to me the checkered flag theme on the bottom is great, all the other add-ons I would drop or peel off.
They should be delivered in plain Jane white like the Cup cars. Less is more in case of the RS in my opinion.

To those in the know, the wider body and rear wing will be enough to identify the car. You don´t have to spell it out for anybody in foot-tall letters all over the car.

Agree 100% that the new GT3 RS will look better without the decals and lipstick!

...are there any other pics out there of the new GT3 RS in white?

The white with red lipstick contrast is just a little over the (taste) top IMO....

The white / red is growing on me. Porsche must have had some paint left over from whatever. I can't believe the limited color choices.

I understand. I think we all are just trying to get used to the limited choices. In the end, some of us will order what's available and others will just pass the RS up this time.

I am shocked at the poor work with the wheel well.

Id be afraid it would fall off...
