Default 3 weeks later.. traded for an RS
So, got my cherry 07 GT3 a few weeks ago and.. well..

I bumped into a 10' RS with 1400 miles on it for a fantastic price. Had to do it.

Its a daily driver/track weapon/school bus with every possible option short of leather vents.



And, I'm already taking advantage of its vast performance capabilities..

Non-stickered sans lipstick effect - exactly how I'd do it. Congrats on the upgrade.

As subtle as a 997.2 RS gets, except for the black wheels. Excellent choice!

Congratulations

Yup. It came with a few boxes containing a bunch of red parts. It actually had some decals when delivered. 1/2 hour with a heat gun took care of that. Still debating the black. Not my thing really. A bit too LA for me. Might paint the wheels silver to help the car blend in to traffic a bit more.

removing the wing will also help...finally a "baby onboard" sticker will give it the final touch

excellent color combo!

Silver wheels would look more subtle, however you still have the massive wing...

Black wheels seem a bit done, look great on the oranges and greens, not so much on a .2RS for some reason. Just drive, drive, drive and chance it with the first wheel scratch :-)

Very nice!! Love it.

What was wrong with the 07 GT3?

Call me "LA", I love the white w/ black rims look. See you around as I'm just over the hill from you.
Have fun. Sweet car.
