Default 718 GT4 rear wing sticker color - advice needed

I am a proud owner of a 2021 GT4 in black with satin wheels and PCCB yellow calipers.
Would like to add PORSCHE sticker on the rear wing in yellow to pick up the color of calipers and stiches in the interior.
Which would you pick ? Solid Yellow or Outline Yellow ???
Please see picture
Best regards Hakan

To me, the Solid looks ‘in yer face’ whereas the Outline looks retro, so neither is suitable. You’ve bought a fabulous-looking car…leave it alone and enjoy the ride.

Outline Yellow. It's a bit more subtle and is reminiscent of the look of stitching.

The outlined version would look best IMO. Also, the custom Yellow hood crest and wheel center crests I have would look fantastic as well.

I’m in camp no-sticker. I prefer a clean debadged look and can’t understand why some people plaster Porsche, 4.0, GTS, GT4, or Spyder all over their cars. I’m pretty sure we have a few members here who have more surface areas covered in logos and stickers than they do clean paint.

Because each sticker adds X hp. The more the greater added hp. 😁

I cannot understand why people debadge their cars and delete every possible identification of what it is leaving vast areas of nothing.

But I do not care...to each their own!

My vote is for neither.

But of course I went smoke on “PORSCHE” and model delete.

IMO, the 4.0 cars need no further introductions.

Might the thin lines on the outline version might make it harder to safely clean and more likely to peel due to less contact area and more edges? I guess that depends on the quality of the sticker.

Go with the outline decal and remove it when you get tired of it. I think it is going to look fantastic. Don’t forget to post pictures!

I have the outline on mine and would prefer that. Your vinyl person can help you with ensuring it doesn't peel. Mine does not. What they did was have the lizard green as the base then the matte black as the overlay that reveals the thin stripe of the green. Kind of like when you do multiple mattes/borders on a picture your framing.
