You mean these stickers? Yea they will come off but then the Xpel will come off too I suspect. I would not have added them, but I'm not repulsed either...at least in person. I'm posting this picture just in case anyone here owned it before or knows anything.

I could rob my investments to make the move, or sell the RS (that I've only driven 200 miles since acquiring it in OCT) - not too keen on selling

I did promise Doug/Switchcars 1st right of refusal, it's a great car with lots of history (wife's car of one of Rennlist's founders)....confounding for sure

Come to TX, we don't have news stories three times per day that start with "Today a Florida man _______" which ends up being like something from a twisted movie. If you have common sense, like to contribute to society instead of asking for freebies, and you're polite, people will love you here. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of great driving roads though, so prepare for that.

I am betting the stickers are on top of the Xpel. Where you will have an issue is if the car has been ceramic coated after the vinyl stickers were added. If so, you will need to remove that coating and get it reapplied as it will be VERY obvious where the graphics were.

Went through this on my RS, not a huge issue. I used mild heat to help pull up the vinyl, you can PM me if you have any specific questions.

yeah, and those gators are a real thing (not to mention FL has primarily flat roads....at least they're in good shape vs how they were when we lived in SF)!

Tell me about it. All these California taxes and can’t get a half decent thing to drive on.

I’ve got some pretty epic ones around me here in the south, the road to Borego Springs is one of the best ways to experience a Porsche on legal roads. Ranchita to Borego springs on Montezuma Valley Road is a drive one should not miss!

I actually reached out to them about the car. The 88K price is a little misleading; there is a 2k discount if you do a trade in and finance through them. If you don't it is 90k which I think is a little high given the mileage.

You certain they're under the PPF? My GT4 came with graphics along the doorsill (which fortunately I like), but P.O. put them on top of the PPF intentionally in case a new buyer didn't like them.

And no, they're not terrible. Just love clean lines.

Can come to TN for no state income tax, too. Totally different breed of redneck idiots, but beautiful country out east, and great mountain roads. Close to several world-class tracks. I say all this as I regularly think about getting the hell out . . .

Edit - In Memphis, a GT3 might as well be a LaFerrari, too. So lots of gawk factor if that does it for you. Genuinely, though. Had an older gentleman who clearly knew his **** pull a u-turn and talk to me about my .2 for 15 minutes just now. Never seen one in person. Was enthralled. Love that connection with these cars.

Serious Q, and I'm sure Doug will chime in, but . . . legit contractual ROFR, or just a pinky-swear?

Thanks to both you guys. It's on top of the Xpel. I'll find out what I want to do with it. I may reach out to you.
