What shade of grey was the 928S4 logo/decal on the rear bumper originally??
Light grey or dark grey?

Thanks guys exactly what I wanted to know.
I checked the registry for pictures and most had the decal delete.

Might want to filter responses by whether the rear has been repainted, and whether the car came with factory lettering there. More than a few folks have added the model designator later, where none had been before.

95% sure mine came from the factory as shown. Of course, I am not the original owner so I cannot guarantee 100%.
