A buddy of mine had a Screaming Chicken decal cut for his Cayman S for a DE once as a joke. Someone snapped a pic of it and it ended up on the back page of an Autoweek issue. He doesn't have the car anymore (sold it for Bitcoins) but I'll try to dig up a pic.
Said Cayman.

I agree with the above.

So after I removed the "Carrera" and the "911" with dental floss... Can I reuse the "911" to reposition it at the center, or I need to purchase a brand new "911"?

Yes, you can remove them without leaving a mark.

There are many ways to do this.... here's what works for me. If you have a helper it makes it a little easier but this can be done by yourself. Point a blow dryer at the letter you want to remove. As the letter gets warm, the adhesive gets soft and the letter will move a little. At this time you can run the dental floss under the letter and as you pull the dental floss in a sawing motion it cuts thru the adhesive. Here's where the helper comes into play. If they can hold the blow dryer on the letter it keeps the adhesive more pliable.

I spray a little WD-40 on the letter and dental floss and allow it to soak under the letter. The WD-40 helps cut the adhesive and keeps the floss from breaking.

Once the letters are off, spray the left over adhesive with WD-40 and that will help remove the left over goop.

Once the area is free of adhesive take a mild polish or cleaner wax to clean up the area around where the letters were.

Once you remove the letters and number, the remaining adhesive may or may not be functional enough to reuse. I would advise you to get new numbers and not chance having the numbers that you reuse fall off.

Someone traded a 911 in to my dealer a couple years ago, they had affixed (with silicon adhesive) a Porsche hood crest on the back. Looked very lame, not elegant, not classy, not Porsche. When I asked my dealer about it, he walked up and pulled it off on the spot.

My car has no badging at all. I like the way it looks, since the C4S has the light strip, otherwise it would look too bare in my opinion. On a C2, my preference would be to paint any badging to match body color.
