The glaring P O R S C H E lettering in silver no less (which I swapped out for black from eBay for a pittance of what other VARs wanted) was enough. I wish there was a logo delete for the lettering. I placed 911 Carrera 4S discretely on the doors.There comes a time when gaudy IMHO of course is just too much.



$38 bucks on eBay

Default Empty space

Just my opinion, but with the base rear fascia, it needs a little “911” in body color to break up the open space. Beyond that, it gets busy, in my opinion. That’s what we did, anyway.

Deleted model designation and blacked out the 'Porsche'. I left the GTS 4.0 on the doors however...

(Just realized this is a 911 thread but hey ho...)

I actually did the same thing!

911 only. In retrospect I would spec high gloss black on a light color.

Model designation is for your internal flexing. I was at a PCA autocross today and no one can tell what model subtype it is, other than a 911. So it basically only matters to you

Just do the 911 (I have had both full script on my first 992 C4S and now on my Targa 4s - just 911).

If you do just 911 - it is easy to remove with some dental floss (or do the full script and remove if you do not like).

for a 150 bucks you can then buy whatever you decide you want and stick it on - easy on and off, so if you don't like - rinse and repeat.

“911” by itself is for practical purposes the “Base 911” badge, because so many Base Carrera cars are spec’d with just 911.

Color is highly dependent upon the rest of your build choices.
Just curious. Why do you capitalize Base Carrera?

Badge delete. People that know can tell the model w/o the badge, people that don’t, don’t care anyway. Always debadge
all cars; less to clean around. Would have eliminated the”Porsche” text too, if it were possible.

Gloss black “911” for my C2S. The script is just too busy for me. The simple designation looks cleaner to my eye. Oddly, I’ve had random people point out how much they like the “911” badge.

1. Went for 911. IMHO Debadging on the 992 would have made the rear with too much “empty” space. I didn’t go for full badge on the other side because it is too busy as said above

2. Hi gloss black to match the other details

992S Cab here, I went 911 script since it’s simply cleaner. I could care less if some random person thinks it’s a base. I sometimes debate whether I should’ve gone black for the Porsche and 911 badge but if I want to change it in the future it’s a simple swap from Suncoast, although it’s not cheap.

I vote full model designation - simply because I like the old school cursive font used on the model name.

911. It's satin black to match the GTS satin black Porsche logo. Delete door decals. Brakes remain a giveaway.

Since I was 7 years old, I have wanted a Porsche 911. Had the Countach poster on one wall and Kelly Lebrok from Weird Science on the other wall but always knew I was a 911 guy. I am now 47 and am in a position in life to own a Porsche which blows my mind. An S Cab with GT Silver over Bordeaux/Black leather and stick is coming my way. So of course, badging is 911 in high gloss back. And I will drive it like I stole it.
