GT3 RS 4.0 Opinions Needed!!

Hey everyone. My newest edition the Pastel Orange RS 4.0 has been redirected and will be shipped straight to me down in Florida! It was due to go to my house in Indy, but as I am down here for a month both testing and racing IndyCar stuff, I had it redirected to come to me so I can use it!

However this provides one challenge. I need to get it clear bra'd right away! I wasnt expecting this, so now I have a few decisions to make. Do I leave the stripes, do I remove them? Should I remove everything on the car stickers wise and have just an RS 4.0 made for the sides and back in black instead of red? Maybe leave the front mustache deals in silver around the vents, so that compliments the mirrors, wing end plates, and the front intakes? I do think I will have some different brakes put on the car, and will try and get rid of as much red as possible. What do you guys think? Here is a picture of the car most of you have probably already seen. Thanks for the help!

No stripes! Maybe 4.0 in black instead of red.

Replace all of the red with black and it'll be really sharp. You may also want to consider having the wing supports powdercoated black. Just a thought.

Redo decals. All red becomes black. Or do as I did get rid off all decals and add decals a la GT2 RS in GT silver. Maybe just get rid of center decal and redo sides.

Different brakes?? What do you mean?? Just get PFC08 pads good for at least 6 track days at Sebring. Everywhere else 8 to 10...SRF brake fluid. No problems. Maybe add Orbit brake calipers puck holders for when you burn off the seals.

I personally would make the wheels GT silver to match the wing end plates and mirrors. Redin mirrors, becomes orange.

Seatbelts all black, also oem's and door pulls. CS roll bar orange, maybe paint calipers orange..
GT silver BBS 18" for track duty

Oh, I want to have rights of first refusal on the car :-)

I'd do an orange brother to GTCole's maritime 4.0.

I would leave the decals on, else it would look very similar to a normal gt3.
