Congratulations. It is great to see a 2010 GT3 RS owner with better taste than the Porsche employees. Good move on the removal of decals and painting the wheels.

On that dark grey color, I would do gloss black wheels (exactly like the 2007 GT3 RS wheels), the center locks in black (they are available), delete all the graphics, paint the wing tips gloss black (like the 2007 GT3 RS), mirrors in carbon fiber (porsche tequipment), center intake in the body color dark grey.

You could give a try to the 2007 GT3 RS graphics, they are cheap. If you don't like them, you can remove them and be done. I think the 2007 GT3 RS graphics (in Black) over that dark grey car should make the car look a lot better

Great move on removing all that crazy weight behind the rear axle, and tuning the car for the new exhaust system. I'm curious to see what kind of power it puts to the wheels stock, and after the
upgrades.

Interesting approach by Porsche, a lighter rear spring given the low suspension travel available in the GT3, finally they are thinking on
the small details to save weight.
like this sort of:

Looks great - but I will be the heretic here and say I kind of miss the side decals (the chequered ones, NOT the gt3 rs script). Maybe because I'm conditioned to see pictures of the grey/black with them on, it looks almost naked without!

Were the tail lights painted or tinted?

The lights have films over them.

Regarding the decals, I had my decal guy make templates so he can make a set for me in flat black. So I may decide to add those on when they are done

Also, remaining to be done is Roll Cage Powdercoated in body color and Red Fire extinguisher. Should be done next week
