Obviously it would just say GT3, and not include the RS part.

I've really liked those decals since the 10RS came out.

Would it be tacky?

Vinyl is cheap, easy on, and easy off. Makes for a fun way to change it up a bit.

I saw a 2010 GT3 for sale a while back (in Florida, I think), that had GT3 stickers like the GT3 RS ones and it looked great. I think there is a thread of it here somewhere.
Its not inappropriate, as long as its label accordingly...

All the '10 owners can't take them off fast enough.

Just so I'm clear, I'm not considering the checkerboard lower panel graphics. Just the "GT3" on the driver's rear and passenger front fenders.

Does that changes anyone's opinion or are we still going with a big fat no?

Hey Dep,

Two comments;

Although you might like the look on an '07 3, many people willl mistakenly think you are "posing" and you don't want to have to repeatedly make excuses.

I ordered and received my '11 Riv' Blue RS w/graphic delete because it's a wee bit toooooo boy racer for me (think WRX sti ).

just my opinion

I don't like decals on street cars even the Porsche ones and I hate when people copy decals of one car to another using same style fonts etc.
But I have noticed that on race cars or cars I see on the track I don't mind them having stickers or decals on them from sponsors to whatever.
So if you want them because you are bored with the yellow car then add something that is representing deputydog95 not a Germans idea of tasteful stickers.
In a few words do something unique and personalized that you like and don’t give a f^%k about what others thing, including my words above, of course. : )

+1 Go for the classy (Classic) MKI stripe, just GT3, nice.
I for one like no decals at all. The car does not need it. A sun visor band, like you have is as far as I would go.

I like TDM's take, he tastefully added GT3Rx, since he is a drug dealer.
