I'm in the "No Decals" Camp. Especially when it came to the 997.2GT3RS; which the decals were Comparatively Over the top compared the the 997.1 RS Iteration.
However largely due to their number and based on their performance I would not remove the decals from the 4.0RS. To me the decals are much more Elegant looking compared to the previous 3.8RS. Now I will take just a slight except to for the Term Boy Racer. In most cases when this term precipitates my thoughts I'm generally looking at some honda or toyota that has been lowered and stickered-up! Fine, boy racer, bingo we have a winner. But to call something like the 4.0 boy racer because it has a few decals; especially when it can back up it's performance with a 500 Bhp engine, doesn't make sense to me. This car seems to be more "Man Racer" than just plain jane "Boy Racer".

I'd delete. Very messy design.

Well, even though you said the car is arriving in Houston, I hope it is not living in Houston. I hoped there would be only one in town. Mine ! Which was delivered last week.
If it is staying here, please remove the decals. Then it really won't look as good as mine. If it's headed to Dallas or otherwise, leave em alone.

i think you'll have an easier time reselling it if you kept the factory installed decals. imagine a naked 73 RS. you'd want the graphics on there. if it was "just" a 3.8RS, i'd most definitely rip off every frickin sticker on there.
Porsche obviously thought long and hard to make this sucker stand out. Might as well flaunt cause u got it!
