Question Your Opinion Wanted: Poll

OK - After posting pictures of my recently acquired C4S with a big P O R S C H E windscreen decal I got a lot of interesting feedback. Therefore this poll. Please choose one of the following options for your windscreen decal opinion:
1. Hate it - A public indication of the owner's insecurity that does not belong on a fine automobile like a Porsche 911. It's not a Corvette!
2. Like it - A reminder of Porsche's racing heritage and a visually compelling statement of passion for the brand.
I value your opinions and will act accordingly. Thank you.

How about another poll choice!
I for one love those windshield decals, the white of the sticker does not match the carrera white. I think having a black (or even better a flat black) of the same decal in the same position would offer a subtle yet powerful appearance, and also would match the black model designation on your door (which I like a lot).
Gorgeous car btw.

Difficult one. Normally I'm not for these in your face decals. But for some reason, it kinda works on your car !

Personally I wouldn't put one on, but some reason it really works on your car and I'd keep it on. Very nice!

I voted keep it. It gives it a retro look.

I voted kill. Two things though- one it looks better on your car than any other I've seen and two, keep it if you like it regardless of the poll. Enjoy your Carrera because it pleases you, and nevermind the others. Always remember this is a car that has its origins in a man who built a car to satisfy himself first, believing that if he liked it others would too. Not the other way around.

I really don't like it and makes me cautious that someone jealous of our good fortune to own a Porsche might take out his frustrations on the car.

The build is perfect without the decal. Leave that look for the race track. Your 991 shouts class without the P O R S C H E on the windshield.

I voted "kill it," but then again you are asking a guy who has no model designation or even the
"P O R S C H E" on his car.

You like it and that's what counts, so I voted "keep it."

I voted "Kill it", but I agree it kinda works on your car, given the white exterior and the black / beige interior.

But:
1) I can't decide if it is too much with the door lettering.
2) You really need a big rear wing to go with that window decal.
