To sticker or not to sticker?

The sticker guy is scheduled to come on Monday and put a full set of the traditional Carrera decals on my car and now I am second guessing myself. I always envisioned the car with the decals, but it looks so good naked. My intention is to sell the car once it is done, and I obviously want it to look it's best. I think it will look good, but I won't know until they're on and then it's too late. What is the groups opinion? BTW, the stickers I have are silver to match the wheels and the roll bar. Thanks for helping me decide.

I vote no Carrera sticker. To me the Porsche sticker looks better on the long hoods. If anything I would do your wheels black and keep the polished petals, might look less washed out color palette wise.

Great car tho.

It would help if you referred to the "stickers" as "graphics".

With that in mind, it depends on the color graphics.

Just my 2 cents , NO stickers, but... RSR/frost finish those wheels & you're done though, if you're really bored, put the straight "Porsche" sticker on the sides

I prefer the script & bumper stripes, if you opted for this you may not
want to sell it too fast

I vote graphics. Always seems to compliment the ducktail.

If you did not have a spoiler, then I'd say clean and simple.

The wheels look very good in person. they were re-finished by Harvey Weidman and have bead blasted petals & lips with a raw aluminum background. they look yellow/tan in the pic, but not in person.

Gorgeous car. If I were going to top dollar as an RS look car, I would make it look as close to a real RS as possible with traditional Fuchs black/silver wheels and black graphics and chrome headlight surrounds. I definitely would not go with silver graphics if I was going to sell. Either make the changes suggested or leave it alone and get less. Good luck.
