Default Decals and liveries?

Anyone planning to install decals or liveries on their car? The only one I've seen is the one from Porsche: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU981CGT4ST.html

I think I'd prefer this with a "GT4" decal on the side instead of "RS 4.0" http://www.motorionline.com/wp-conte...3-rs-4-0_2.jpg

IIRC this is a picture of one sitting on the showroom floor of a Belgium Porsche dealer.

The hood/roof stripes didn't do it for me like they did on the 997 GT3 RS 4.0

I have the Motorsport side stripes and plan to have my detailer put them on, but am almost having second thoughts. The car looks so good stock it really doesn't need them.

Same here. I have the side stripes (I really liked them on my CR) but I am having second thoughts about having them put on the car.

The CR, IMHO, needed those decals to help it stand out. That's the car that made me fall in love with them. The 981 has so much going on with the door shape leading to the intake and then the GT4 scoops over them that they may be overkill.

I bought the side and racing stripe stickers. My GT4 will be CMW. If I had any other color, other than plain white, I wouldn't be going with any decals.

I'll definitely be putting them on but that's the great thing about decals, if it looks like over kill, just peel them off.

Well I must admit I am a sucker for those side stripes
So I am going with them ...
If I dont like'em. I'ill pull them off
But I don't think I will
The hood stripe even looked nice to me, but I thought it might be too much for a street car

I wanted to do a full wrap in the current livery on the IMSA and Le Mans cars.

Porsche Intelligent Performance

Still likely going to lay it in silver/grey (fades front to back) over the DBM... i would do mirrors red, porsche across windshield and sticker up the wing

I LOVE the way it looks on the RSR.

I will probably have the embossed GT4 on those side scoops filled in with flat black.

Hey it will look amazing for sure
But .... Well there is no shade of discret there
What does that cost ? It must be pretty steep? Did you see the silver GT 4 Martini racing livery on Facebook GT 4 page that was also Wow

I'm going with this setup. Already have the side stripes and roof stripe. Just waiting for transport to pick up and deliver my White GT4.
