Tacet-Conundrum

Is Removing the Porsche Lettering from the back of the new Porches something that can be tackled by the Shade-Tree Mechanic? Or is it something I should leave for the professional detailer?

When I get my Turbo I just want it to say 911.

Beside is it me or does the new Lettering for "Porsche" look a little to big and Over-Powering on the car? Most 99.999% of the folks out there know it is a Porsche thank you.

There are a few threads that are not too old here in the 991 section. Search for them them ie: doing it yourself with dental floss vs. fishing line etc. Just do a search. You can do it yourself no prob.

If you are getting the car wrapped then it will get removed.
I left it off, it was not worth putting back on.
It definetly looks better w/o the lettering.

Can't you request / order the car without any lettering.

Anyway, a hairdryer and some dental floss does the trick.

Extremely easy process, but requires patience.

My OPC will allow you to order without branding if you prefer. I like the 'Porsche' branding on the back - but that's it. Do away with model name and / or variant. It's your car, order it how you want it...

I believe you can only order it with "model delete" i.e. 911 Carrera. Car always comes with the "PORSCHE" lettering

This may be my first "mod" of the season. The cleaner look with no lettering at all on the back (I did the model designation delete) is a better look IMHO. No lettering on my 993.

Fishing Leader is thinner and much stronger than dental floss. Also, from your local auto paint store, get a spray can of 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner 08987. Use it as you're "flossing" off your badging and then to clean up adhesive residue. When done you will have nearly a full can of the cleaner, but you will find so many things around the house to use it on.

The hair dryer is the most important part though to soften the glue. Hurts your fingers like mad but it does come away easily if the glue is soft.

Wrong. It definitely looks better with lettering. No lettering looks empty.

Or matter it's a matter of personal taste.

I was all set to do this on my 997. Read all the posts, prepared the hair dryer. Decided to do it after a long drive and the heat from the engine practically did the job. Came off quite easily. Head out for a good drive first. Can't hurt and hey, you get another reason to go drive.

One tip is to make sure to pull the fishing line away from the paint. As you are sawing through the adhesive pull at an angle toward the lettering. The line will scratch the paint. I have never needed a heat gun, heat from the sun or engine. If you take it off when the car is new, you probably won't anything but rubbing with your fingers. 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.

Dont get me wrong i look both looks, without the badge looks like the car was repainted and they forgot to put the lettering back on ;(

I took PORSCHE off and left the model designation on just a few days after delivery. Almost 4 months later, I have decided I don't like it and will put the PORSCHE back on. Logo is $65-70 from a dealer. Give me a few months to consider removing the model designation......
