Default Model Designation--- Thoughts and Pics?

Hey everyone.. Still working on my Spec and was wondering what you chose for your 991 turbo/s. I think I am going with just "911" instead of "911 Turbo S" looks a little messy to me. I was also thinking of just keeping PORSCHE. Thoughts or pics?

I just went with the default 911 Turbo S in chrome. Next time, I will probably get the same, but painted to match the car.

I wanted it old school, but *just* turbo S looked too small and isolated, so I just skipped "911", left the "P O R S C H E" and centered the "turbo S" below it. I like it a lot this way.

Model Designation Delete here.

Keep the non-cognoscenti guessing. Anyone that knows will know. Anyone that doesn't ... who cares.

I tried going with a totally blank rear end. It just looked bland, and to much black!

Not blank. Just no model designation. See picture.

Personally I am one for just the "911" Moniker and that is it. Let the other's figure out what you are driving, you don't owe them anything, Painted or not.

Sorry I have not a picture.

Well - had nothing in the back for a month and got asked a handful of times if the car is a Porsche and never if it was a 911. Figured I'd just add the PORSCHE, albeit painted in the car's exterior colour, to help with cutting down on the small talk at lights if I'm with the wife or with a client. Again, I got this black/black car to be as stealth as possible😀
