Fred,
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.

The black graphics look killer! well done! If it were me I'd do the calipers in red, for what ever reason the yellow doesn't do it for me on that color car. At any rate a very sweet looking RS!

I usually never comment on other peoples taste, but your car is very well done.
When I look at the end result, my senses prefer the yellow accent color to the red (with your other color choices), and as such, if it were my car, I would change the belts to yellow or black to complete the clean look. I played with adding other yellow or red accents to wing ends or center bolts but your minimalist choices are perfect.
This is my 10 second MS Paint yellow seat belt change.
Your car is exactly what I would do to an RS.
