I like the clean look, but there's a better way to do it -- debadge it after taking delivery and keep the model designation as a souvenir as opposed to having the factory take it away from you. My Macan was debadged from the factory and I regretted that as I could have easily done the DELETE mod myself so I'm not making the same mistake twice.
Now you're onto something. We do pay for the letters either way, so that's the least they can do! I'm likely going to settle on '911' for my car, and I'd love the extra "Carrera 4S" in a box, like a souvenir gift with the car.

I am loving the dark tone, maybe it's the lighting? It's probably brighter than it looks in the photo. Good choice!

Carmine Red is definitely a deeper and richer red than "Guards Red". You can see what it looks like if you go to the thread "new 992 owners post your pic" thread.

Deleted on mine. Kept the Porsche lettering in silver though, but then I do have a somewhat 'classic' build.

Delete for me as well

Still not loving how much empty space there is now with the standard rear bumper moving the license plate down, but liked the cleaner look opposed to either branding the car 911 or 911 retro font + classic Carrera model font personally

I think 992 bumper (especially standard one) needs something there. I actually prefer the whole designation.

Still looks a little sparse- maybe add VIN in large font? Or list out all the options?
