Still not crazy about the red graphics in the stock colors but the black ones look fantastic on bubble gum colors.

The gray car with the orange accents would look outstanding without the graphics.

Not true. Porsche would not PTS gulf blue on the 997s because of an issue with light non-metallic colors. The Carrera GT in GB is handled entirely differently--it's not a JIT production car.

I was also told by a Porsche factory rep (at the L.A. Auto show) that it was a legal issue.

Same car in the wild. Must've cost the owner a pretty penny for the PTS plus the black accent upcharge but oh my I luv this car.

Factory rep or auto show stand attendant? Worse yet...might have been someone from the local dealer!

Anyone yet seen the aluminium wing struts in a darker anodized/painted grey, flat black, or even a flat titanium color on a .2 RS? Would look great for example on the RS above IMO ^

Many thanks for all the positive comments on the car and colour. Yes it is PTS Mexico Blue.

I've now removed the front and rear wing RS decals as I prefer the cleaner lines without them - as per pics below.

Car is utterly fantastic - it has already done 4,000 miles and several laps of the 'Ring.

Cheers
