What is the "Ornamental Porsche Crest" I see on most of these new 991 order sheets?

I think just the hood badge?

Man, with that white car parked against the white:ish curbe, and the curb line falling just right, I thought for a moment that it had a fixed rear wing!

That's what I thought also. So, is the hood badge now optional?

I think PAG is just trying to impress upon us how lucky we are to get this great badge included for free...

The 991s do look great in white! And another PASM Sport, I believe.

Very 997 GT3 looking for some reason, in my mind. Perhaps that is because I saw a white with white rims 997.2 at my dealer a couple of years ago that burned its way onto my retina, in a good way.

Been there, done that, and have the T-shirt.

I doubt Porsche would allow this, since it goes against their "DNA" requirements. Rear badging is available as a delete.

There is not an option to delete it at this time and I doubt there will be.

Except the PORSCHE logo. You can no longer factory delete that portion.

Really? And that's the worst part, IMO. Like everyone in the World does not know this car is a Porsche.

Can you order it with the "PORSCHE", dental floss, a little citrus degreaser, and a dab of RejeX wax?

Sounds like you know the process to remove it. Obviously you were an Eagle Scout and come prepared for anything

Apparently everyone in the world doesn't. I was told by a Porsche Exec that the reason is because of lack of brand awareness in new markets.

Wow...white wheels w/steelies. They won't look white for long.

Nice combo though.
