Default Feeling Naked

I had my bumper replaced and painted after someone scraped the corner in a parking lot. Next step is the lettering. With a clean slate I need to decide what to put back. Here is what I had before and a current picture.

I know the "s" is too small. Dealer used one from the GTS logo. I'll fix that this time.

Just do the black "PORSCHE". No model. Not chrome. Or, order the paint to match exterior "PORSCHE" from BumperPlugs.

I prefer a clean look. On my last car (Viper Green Targa 4S), I had "PORSCHE" painted Viper Green at the factory.
IMO the Graphite Blue doesn't need any lettering to look wonderful.

I like the look without anything. Very clean and uncluttered. Clearly it's a Porsche. And those of us who care know its an "S". I say no billboard on the back of the car.

Looks like something is missing with nothing on the back. I prefer the minimalist look.

agree with the minimalist look, but it is a bit too plain with nothing.

drop the "P O R S C H E" and drop the "911" and just put "Carrera S"

No right answers here. I recently had a moment where I was in love with the clean/no lettering look. Upon delivery of my vehicle, we realized that the C in Carrera had been broken, and the previous dealer had already ordered new lettering (paint to match Agate, as originally optioned).

In the mean time I had PPF installed, and was surprised how much I liked the clean look, never was much of a fan before. Here is how mine looked both ways.


Clean Deck

Monochrome Letters

Whatever you do, no different colored S. Tacky AF.

I think flat black would look great.

I don't love the different color S but we could not find a grey S.

I would go with a gray PORSCHE 911 or a graphite blue PORSCHE, no 911.
