Once all blacked out it'll look like Jenk car.

Identical.

Lol at the lipstick.

I like this approach. I may do either black or gunmetal wheels. As far as the rollbar goes, I was thinking to stick with red but you guys have convinved me otherwise. But then I also have to change my seat belts and door straps to black also

Black wheels, Decals, Cage, and accents but I think you should keep the red calipers.

Thanks Matt

I will not make the same mistake of not taking your advice again lol.

Car will look great with the red bits gone. As others have suggested, clear reflectors or whatever they are look better than orange. Getting rid of the red roll bar would go with the new theme, but that will be certainly be more work....

Please leave the wing. Removing the wing on the RS has been tried. Big FAIL in my opinion.

+1. This is how it should've come from the factory.

I was looking at Grey/Red for my RS - bought a White/Black though. I saw this at Rennsport - I liked this alot (but back to the red). Looks better without the flag decals either way.

This one has the CF mirrors and hood.

I think your car will look very nice once you have the mirrors and lips in black. I also agree to redo the rollbar in black.

The pic below is one of my favorite RSs that GMG did, if you're looking for ideas. The graphics don't stand out as much in black and actually complement the car.
I was finally content with my narrow body GT3, and then I see this....
