Best looking 997 GT2 ever?

Some mind argue that the decal clutters the car but I find them in this case to increase the car's appeal. The car is flaming hot What do you guys think?

Though I love the decal on the GT3RS, I'm not liking it on the GT2... Go figure.

Would look awesome without the decal, like Bruce already mentioned - but the rest seems to be just perfect!!

Re: Best looking 997 GT2 ever?

You probably know this, but the decals are an option on all Porsche now. Wait until you see a base Cayenne with them! Reminds me of a yellow Boxster here that says GT3 on the front and rear bumpers, the rear view mirrors, and down the sides. I don't know what he's thinking.

Lol, some people are just sad. Reminds me of a dude in Gothenburg who drives around in is Scuderia red Fiat coupe with Ferrari logos in numerous places.

What, are decals are on option for all Porsches? Didn't know that. So how much money is the master of milking-customer's wallet-using-over expensive-options asking for decals?

Black is too "vanilla" for GT2. Yellow and white make it look like what it really is, the craziest 911.

Re: Best looking 997 GT2 ever?

I hate decals, IMO it makes any car look lame... no exception here, sorry.

Don't get me wrong though... if somebody gave me this car on the condition I must keep the decals then I'd still take it and drive it. Only, I'd be a little ashamed.

Seem like I'm the only one feeling the decals. I guess I should just jump out the window then.

Nope, apparently Bruce agrees with you. Therefore, both of you are nuts!

Re: Best looking 997 GT2 ever?

Nah, definately without decals! I love it in every color, black and yellow are my favorites.

Btw, I am not really too impressed with the vents near the exhaust, this is a detail that bothers me on GT2. Anyone else???
And I also don't like the font of the letters 'GT2' - it looks a bit like a toy...but whatever, it certainly isn't a toy!

Ditto. I think they most certainly could have done a better job in that regard.
