19VFB19 - I think you will find the Plastidip yields a mat finish. That 991 with the red mirrors, look shinny and glossy. If you do the mirror and the door. I think the finish should match.
Plasti the rims? I'm not a fan. Just brake dust magnets.

Agreed

I think I'll pass on the Rims
Just the decal with Mirrors / Door handles plasti dipped in red
Can always remove the plasti dip if I don't like it in the end.

I'm looking for something to just enhance the look a little bit, but not too flashy

I still like the checkered flag decal too.
What do you guys think between these two...

( I know, I know, I should lower it too....)

I did mine, it was easy took a couple of hours.

one thing to Consider is whether to extend the stripe fore and aft of the wheels...

Here is my 7.1RS

If its too "ricey" then why does it look great on the RS?

Maybe because the RS decal comes from the factory?

I think it looks good. Would I do it to my car? NO

I agree with Bacura. If it's a factory option on your particular model, it works. Otherwise not so much.

And the factory is infallible?

To me if it ricey then its ricey, whether factory or aftermarket

I think the black/orange would be ok minus the wheels but the newer gt3rs stuff with the flags or checks or whatever the hell it is and with the logo up over the rear arches

Way over the top

You asked for an opinion. I don't like decals. Everyone knows what you drive. I am more forgiving if it's from the factory. If you like it then be happy.
