My preference would be 1) delete, 2) Porsche only [in black], and 3) Black, in that order

Although I personally went with the word salad, in black (GTS), on mine.

Looks nice! Just curious @Hurricane because the two lines of text seem quite close together... Did you apply those badges or is that the way your vehicle came from the factory?

On graphite blue I actually like the look of the chrome over black. In any case, I prefer to have only PORSCHE or PORSCHE with 911 under it. Keep it simple.

Porsche 911 = Geez, I thought this was a Cayman or Macan? Silly.
Porsche 911 Carrera S = Starting to get ridiculous, you really need everybody to know which model you bought? It's like Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS (They really made use of the space to announce something moot).

You don't see Porsche going wild on the GT models. Porsche 911 Carrera GT3 RS, because you already know it's not normal. Debadge entirely, yeah definitely missing something.
i have my 991 setup as original with the full: "PORSCHE 911 Carrera S" because i can't decide and agree with this post and a lot of other posts about the excessive lettering.

my 993 just says "carrera" as did the 3.2s and 964s.

maybe just this:

That's just the angle of the photo. They came that way from the factory.

Have you considered just 911 in black?

​​​​Porsche only in black - Option 1 would be my choice out of the list.

The final decision is revealed in this DIY Video I just made showing how to debadge a vehicle with PPF. If you want to just see the final result, you can advance to about 13:50.

My car started from the factory with this:



The previous owner did a full PPF (thank you!) and she came debadged:



And how she looks today (I did the same - went to the dealership because the templates are so expensive):



Personally I just like the P O R S C H E 👍

Decided that it was time for the chrome license plate frame to go as well, so I came up with this concoction. Surprisingly inexpensive.




Next up... Exhaust tips!
