Default Removing Porsche letters

So, how hard is it to take the P O R S C H E off the back bumper area on my ‘18 GT3? It looks okay, but I prefer a cleaner look and anyone that doesn’t know it’s a Porsche probably can’t be helped anyway. :P

I have the dealer remove it and centre GT3 [or GT4] on each new car, which requires a new "GT3" of course - order 2 in case you miss.

Hairdryer to soften the adhesive and fishing line to finish it.

Yup. Little heat. Not too much and NO heat gun or risk pulling up clear coat with adhesive.

You will need an adhesive remover too. A little isopropyl and microfiber.

Watch a few YouTube videos.

Maybe one of our resident PPF experts Moe or Jean Claude can chime in with further wisdom.

Make sure you clean the area very well ( you can scratch the paint with the mono filament line )
Leave the car in the sun ( rear facing ) and use fishing line or dental floss
Honestly the best cleaner is 3M adhesive remover
