Some buyers select this no charge option because they believe:
1. the rear deck looks cleaner w/o the model designation;
2. it's one less thing to get ripped off by a thief;
3. it eliminates the hassle of cleaning dirt/built up wax from around the script;
4. it eliminates the chance of snagging during washing/drying which can bend/break the script; or
5. it's cheaper than the script painted exterior color option & the script color doesn't look good.

Excuse a non-english-mother tounge individual, but why isn't it called "Deleted model designation" instead? Other option codes seem to represent some sort of a condition rather than an activity.

Sorry but this is not a Honda forum. We aren't slapping "Type R" on everythihng we own. Most Porsche owners don't do that because most Porsche owners can spot an "S" or any other derivative of the car at first glance.

The option may be considered as an instruction to the factory to: "delete (the) model designation" from the order.

Huh? This IS the Cayman S forum, so you can safely presume the question related to the delete model designation for Cayman S buyers. You think they're trying to dupe the masses into believing they own a pre-production base Cayman?

Some of us just don't like badging.

Having moved from Calgary, Alberta, Canada to Beverly Hills, CA 3 years ago I can confirm that the majority of model designation deletes were due to "wann-a-be's". I disagree that most Porsche owners can tell the difference in California. Any car guy can tell if the BMW-M, SVT Cobra etc. are fake. Its not a Porsche owner but a car guy you refer to be able to tell the difference.
If you like the cleaner look of no badging, great!!!! It's your car, do what you want.
