Default Decal or No decal. Which would you choose, and why?

I'm being really indecisive about the finishing touches on my incoming 992. I'm hoping your input will help me make up my mind.

I was going to pay for PTS Meissen Blue but they shut that down for '23. So I'll be wrapping to a color that is pretty darn close to it. While they're at it, I can add a decal...or not.

These are the closest examples that I could find online. Which of these do you prefer, and why?

Do it. If you get tired of them take them off. No need not to try them out.

In that particular color, I like the decals better than no decal. I would definitely go for it.

I like that thinking. In this case I think I'd be stuck with them as I'd be putting the decals over a wrap, then ceramic coating the whole thing.

Hard pass-doesn’t add anything imo. You know what brand of car it is and others dont care. To me, decals are much like having 12” letters on your windshield that say HONDA or PINTO…..

As usual...thread to ask opinion so that members can chime in if they like vanilla or chocolate ice cream...OP, if you like the look do it/or not...don't wait for others to make up YOUR mind on what YOU like.

My cars are de-badged and the P O R S H E lettering on the rear is black. I prefer to be as inconspicuous as possible. I even deleted the G T S decal that come standard on the door. You asked....

Yes. But all in white. I'm a fan.

Seriously. Who cares what anyone else thinks? I've never had decals on any of my past 911s but decided to put them on my current GT3 and already have custom decals for my incoming T. I don't care how other people like their 911s or how much I liked that "clean look" myself in the past. Now I think "clean" looks common and boring. All that matters is what you want and that you get exactly that.

It’s your car, do it for you but for my car, always a no, I think they’re an ugly distraction.

Not a big fan of decals, but that one looks nice with the way the colors compliment each other.

I'm so for stickers. Just in case somebody does not realize it a Porsche, the stickers always make it clear and that's good.

GTS on door. Stripes on hood compliments the aero kit.

If you like it, do it. It's your car. Don't seek other people's opinions. Personally, I like the look of the classic decals on the bright flat colors.
