UK-registered RHD 996 GT3 RS flying round the 'Ring. Whilst I appreciate the 996 GT3 RS very much, the shape of the body is not as curvaceous or sensuous as the 997's (or for that matter, any 911 series). But what I really struggle with from an aesthetic POV are the massive side-skirts which appear disproportionately heavy in relation to the body. Just me? Image Unavailable, Please Login
If I read it correctly, and I think I did, his favorite was the same one that the Fedex guy and the UPS guy liked! There may be another inspired RS purchase about to happen... Image Unavailable, Please Login

There is a reason why the factory leaves those areas in black plastic. Road-rash will quickly destroy the paintwork (which will not adhere to the plastic very well anyway), and soon there will be a peeling & pitted surface, making the exercise pretty pointless. Also, from an aesthetic perspective, the car now looks 'fatter' with much more surface area covered by body-color paint, giving the illusion that it is taller etc. Now if the car were a dark color like grey-black, then this might work, but on a stark white car? Not-so-much. I do see these mods and the only thing that pops into my mind is: why? On the other hand, the graphics mod is cool.
