How many people are planning on doing substantial graphics like the Martini Livery?
Any advice if going this route? If I don't get PTS I'm now considering white or GT Silver and the Martini Livery. Do they draw too much attention? Are they a pain to maintain over time?

Interestingly I was watching a few of the smokies videos of guys walking down the line up and its the the GT silver/Martini stood out amongst the crowd.

As you may have seen from my previous posts, I have a GT Silver car with Martini livery. I didn't spec it; the dealership had installed them before I bought it because, they said, they had taken it to car show to show off the dealership. But I decided to keep it, because I thought it set off the car nicely by turning a beautiful, yet understated color into something special.
It does get lots of attention, virtually all very positive. I'm glad I have it. People remember the car and me by it.
I also think Martini livery looks best on Silver car, though it also looks good on white, Sapphire blue (see Schmee's GT4), and Gulf blue (see PTSRS instagram for an example).
For my next GT3, though, I'll probably do something different. If I get PTS, the colors im considering wouldn't work with Martini, and I would try to make the color itself the showpiece. If I cannot get PTS, I may get white, silver or black and use it as a canvas for some graphics, but probably something a little more understated like the PORSCHE script on side or a Porsche Motorsports stripe on top.
In conclusion, tasteful graphics really can be a great way to set off an otherwise me-too color, especially white.

Is there a place online to get the Martini Livery? Or do you need to find a local specialty shop to custom design and install? I've seen the one on Suncoast's website but it looks very plain. I'd prefer something with a bit more curvature like the picture below.

The one in your pic above on the white car, with side stripes that curve up and over the rear quarters, is something different/custom. I wouldn't know where to get that done but assume it would require custom installer.

In terms of getting in and out, I had less difficulty than in previous times getting into and out of a car at the dealership that had them. Maybe it's because I wasn't nervous like I was at the dealership in their showroom entering a bespoke brand new RS that was awaiting delivery to someone? Anyway, I was able to basically plop myself into them without much drama or discomfort, though certainly it takes slightly more effort and significantly more forethought/planning than getting into and out of the same car with sofas.
Getting out, which I remembered being difficult when I tried in dealership, was also much easier. I hadn't thought of it then, but last night I just put my right palm flat on the center console lid to lift myself up and out, which worked fine. So I didn't struggle like I had before. I suppose again in another person's brand new RS I was being extra conscious of what surfaces in the car I could touch.
Long story short, I walked away a convert to the LWB seats and plan to order them in my next Porsche GT car.
For reference, I'm 42, 5'8", and not in great shape (about 245lbs). Your results may vary. If your much heavier, you may find the LWB seats too snug. Or if you have specific back problems that require adjustability, especially specific lumbar support position, they may not be for you or else you may want supplemental cushions, which some said are helpful. I didn't find anything like that desired. They were just right as is for me.
