Default Model designation - what's your preference

Curious what you're all doing and why? Leave the model designation as is, change to "911" or delete it altogether. My current build (not locked yet) still has it as "Carrera S" but was contemplating a switch to "911." Obviously this is one of many personal preferences, but I was just bored and thought this would be fun to obsess on for a bit :-)

My original custom build had the model designation delete.
The dealer ordered car that I ended up buying instead, has the full "911 Carrera 4S".

I find myself liking it more than I expected. It helps break up the appearance of that standard rear bumper.

So, yeah, lots to obsess about here. :P

I prefer delete. Makes it look cleaner to me. But I also like the 911 option.

I want a model addition.

I want the "911" to be like freckles on my car. All over it.

I went for the Carrera S in High Gloss Black. Looks a bit sportier than the chrome

Went with "911" model designation on my recent C4S order (build in January 2020). But colored it Carmine red to match the car.

even though I have a C4S .. I went with just the "911" ... looks less busy.
