Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys, I really love how the orange accents look on the 997 GT3 RS and was considering getting them on my Arctic Silver 4S. However, I wanted to get some opinions. Do you think it would be poser status if I did it? Obviously, I wouldn't put the GT3 RS strip across the bottom, just wanted to do the side mirrors, gt3 replica wheels dipped in orange and gt3 wing with orange accents. Like this:

POST 2Original post

I don't think you'll be a "poseur" as long as you don't put GT3 badges or script on the car. If you like the orange accents, then go for it!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the input Dennis!

POST 4Original post

I agree. As long as no GT3 badges are applied, you're good.

POST 5Original post

Go ahead and put the GT3 badges on if you want... Non Porsche owners think were all poseurs anyway, a few more thinking the same won't matter :-)

POST 7Original post

Take a look at this site. They have some interesting stuff. I really like the newer checkered-flag style GT3 decals. http://www.kistudios.com/carrera-004.html

POST 8Original post

Do whatever you like. Its your car. Hater's gonna hate.

POST 9Original post

I'd repaint the calipers silver or yellow if I were going that route, I think the red would look weird with the orange wheels.

POST 10Original post

Isn't the GT3 silver a much darker silver than Arctic? Orange might wash out against bright silver.

I have been tempted by the checkered flag decals for my C4S. I think it would make it "pop" even more. Eric

POST 12Original post

My take: Copying the graphics is fine, maybe use C4S RS in the stripe. Also a ring or outline of orange around the center grille opening looks hot. I'd use a brighter orange with more red in it. I drew up the same scheme on my Arctic Silver '99 C2 Cabriolet a few years ago and thought it looked great. Do what ever the guy paying the tab likes, lol. I customize for a living, have since the '70s.
