Default Replacing GT3 illuminated door sills

I bought an GT3 Touring with illuminated door sills with text that only makes sense to the guy that ordered the car. Don't ask me why he did that if he never planned on driving it, but I digress. Is it possible to order a new set with something generic like "GT3" or "Touring"?

GT3 must be a standard option because that is what is on mine.

Yes: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/991CFILSIL.html

The stock sill will say "GT3." To get it to say "Touring," you would probably have to order it like that from CXX from the factory, like the previous owner did. In other words, possibly doable, but it will be more expensive and time consuming than just opting for the stock option from Suncoast.

you’ll pay a lot more for personalized and most people prefer “GT3”. but not a big deal to replace.

Ok, you have to let us know what the custom sills say. But as I understand it, swapping the factory Gt3 illuminated ones for the custom ones is fairly easy.
