You could write "Peanut Butter Balloon Filler" on the back of a Mexico Blue 993 and it would look good

Each to his own. Do what you like.
I am with Stuttgart951 and Bill, I quite like the RS badge without Carrera. At the end of the day its your car and if you are comfortable with some liking it and other not then put it on.

If you cannot stand the thought of someone thinking ill of you then one of the more unique offerings may be of order (993, 911) or go naked.

Default Were other 993s delivered from the factory with "911" badges?

P1CR-- For the opinion of a RLer with some similarities, you may wish to contact Gary11 for his recommendation. From his "993 Speed Yellow" thread:

I can only strive toward the skill you've mastered Jager.

Awesome car but too bad it's a tippy. Interesting price. Back on topic...

Speaking of translating, that's about 22 '993' badges!

Unless the car has been completely modified to RS specs including changing out ALL of the parts (motor, tranny, etc) to those that a real RS would have, then I'd probably not put the RS badge on.

A friend of mine did this on a car that doesn't look anything like an RS and my first impression was that it was a bad call.
