I don't dislike it. Loose a few of the decals (not the ones on the front wing), loose the color accents on the rear spoiler and front spoiler, bodycolor for the rear spoiler supports, and you're good to go.
Porsche isn't forcing anybody to buy it like this, they're pretty flexible when it comes to complying to customers wishes. What I like less is the flares on the front wings...

Its a bit busy for my taste, but I think my tastes are probably quite dated. At least it has a big wing on a rear wheel drive car.

(Flame suit on)
I honestly like the 996 GT3RS as well (red and white please). It is still a narrowbody and that suits it well.

Yeah it is loud, but unlike most rice, that car can back up the flair.

Hand me the keys and pink slip, I'll take it.
The real question, get rid of the Corolla or the '84 to make room.

nope not a ricer, you can clearly see in picture #1 the driver has facial hair. Ricers are unable to grow facial hair.

I like it, definitely not rice.
It seems to just be following Porsche tradition, didn't the origianl 911 Turbo show car have graphics on the rear fenders? |

It's not rice if it's functional. Wings are helpful at 190 MPH, not so much on a 70 MPH Civic. As for the decals, they're not my style but still are not in bad taste.

The graphics are definitely rice. The car itself isn't. But, perhaps that reflects the consumer taste these days...Me? I prefer a fast car without the decals and advertising. But I'm a crusty old goat.

I like the front fender graphic a la Carrera Club Sport.

I'd order it without the graphics, but I lust for that car.
