Default 2010RS decals or no decals?

Have my VIN # and I ordered the car to be wrapped matte white today.
My car is ordered with decal delete, no PCCB's.

I am leaning towards wrapping the mouth white and no decals at all, but leaving the wheels, mirrors and wing tips red.

Does it look to plain? Should I add the 997MKI decals?

997.1 GT3 RS red decals would make it look good.

There were plenty of 996 GT3 RS and a few 997.1 GT3 RS with the red stripes/wheels over white, they look good.

It looks plain without decals, and it looks clowny with the 2010 decals.

Nein! All decals are cheesy to me. Those who are in the know will recognize it as an RS right away, and for those who don't, who cares? Once you get it and start driving, cosmetic considerations will be moot.

So far 4 votes for no decals and 3 with decals.
Thanks for helping!

I pretty much agree with all the above. I am re-adding the GT3RS trunklid decal.
Less = more so I am hoping that the flat white, no red lips, no decals took care of the clowny and will still look exciting without decals. If I think it looks too plain, I can add the decals.

Maybe even ghost them in shiney white against matte?

Here are some white cars they did:

For now I have to occupy myself with decals etc. to reduce my anxiety while waiting for the car..

I went to look at a 2010CUP car last night, the stance and look is pretty aggressive in any color.
Very excited about the front fenders, lots of room to increase track or wider tires! I can't wait to find out if the rear suspension has any changes like the CUP car. It looked like the same brakes..

Rumor is that the car is 7 seconds faster around the Ring than the GT3, it can't all be shorter gear ratio and downforce, me thinks....

No decals.
If you do want decals, my vote goes to the 997.2 better than the 997.1:
