Does the paint look different under the lettering from the lack of sun patina?

It would depend on the color, time involved and environment, just to name a few.

The 991 is so new, I hardly see this being an issue.

I've seen many a 993 (1995-1998) badges removed. Some color difference, and after a good paint correction (wash, clay, wash, polish, wax/sealant), it becomes a non issue.

I follow up with a clay bar, polish, and wax/sealant.

Most people won't like the badgeless look. People tell me I need one all of the time. I don't like badges. The lazy detailer in me doesn't want to clean out the badge every time. Plus my towels catch on them. Dare I say, I even took my M3 badges off, Audi rings, S2000, etc.





I love that no badge look!

IMO, a no badge Porsche looks like it just came out of a body shop repaint.
