You're rendition of the R blows away your inspirational RS. Assuming "PORSCHE" lettering on sides also GTSM... another rendering to consider might be making side stripes GTSM with black "PORSCHE" lettering. Probably won't look as nice as there's something special about the way that black grounds the car and breaks up the blue.
Do you have carbon fiber inside? Most folks either love it or hate it but if you do... I bet those side mirrors would look great in carbon fiber. Regardless, looks perfect as is.
Looks awesome Mark. Let's get them together for a run as soon as you get her home.
100%, lets do it - it's very hard not being able to drive at the moment!

Voodoo - main difference is that one is a Porsche color, and one is from a Toyota FJ

Not a big fan of acid as a color. I'm pretty fixed on the yellow as it is original and contrasts well with the blue, but will give it some final thoughts this week.

Those OEM matte aluminum wheels look superb too.
Thanks. I will get to see both options on Wednesday; black with silver and silver with black. Unless that changes my opinion, I agree with you, that the black stripes ground the car and tie in with tires and window trim.
I have the standard carbon inside but no more - I've gone off it recently, so going to stick with body color.
Absolutely love the single minded drive and initiative of this...def think this will lead to more of us in the UK to look at this as an option with PTS for the new GT3 being much later in the cycle most likely. Great reading!
What about a black line around the silver hood strips to match the side black/silver side Porsche? Like what a few of the R's managed to get from the factory.
Took a trip to see the car today. Very happy! Photos have been good, but it is exactly how I wanted it, in the flesh.
I've decided to stick to render above, so the black side stripes, with Porsche lettering in GT Silver, and hood stripes also in GTS.
The mock-up is done in a less bright sliver, and white was a bit too 'in your face' for me, so GT is perfect,,IMO
We laid the various silver options on the car today, and the current pics are no fully representative of how it will look. I'm 100% happy, but it's a personal choice.
Next stage is to strip it down again for panels to be prepared for stripes to be painted on. Then prepped panels will be out back on car, the stripe 'stencils' will be placed on top to line up perfectly, then the stripes themselves painted through these.
Final step will be a lacquer on top of the polished up, striped car. (PPF later). I've also asked them if we can 'smoke' rear lights, so that it will keep the look created by the empty light holes at the moment. Will know about that tomorrow. Hopefully all done this month.
As you'll see, the color changes in light conditions...
