Debadge or No?

Let me preface this by stating that while I'm solidly in the no badge camp, the 911 badge is the cleanest look to me if there's got to be a badge back there.
However, when I see it on cars that are not Millenium editions, or 40th anniversary editions with the 911 badge I wonder how that's any different than putting a GT3 badge on an aero package car. It's still advertising the car to be something that it is not.

on my face.i'm not a fan of the red S. teh larger S in gray already stands out. the red S casts too much of a bright shadow over the Carrera 4.
on the narrowbody or any body... i like the longer script of the Carrera more than just the 911. it fills it out better. and i always like the silver script over the black script which looks kinda cheap.
man it's hairsplitsville day here for us! just insane how we're so in love with these cars that we share with each other thoughts on the fuqin BADGE the sticker, the piece o'plastic.
life is pretty all right

Like I said, my personal opinion is that the 911 is the best looking one of the bunch, it's the small technicality that it only came on limited edition cars that kills it for me. I'll give you the fact that it't not a huge glaring flaw like putting a GT3 badge on an aero car in that only Porsche people would really know any better, but technically...........

slightly off subject5, I think the MK1 GT3 is the most desirable, best looking water cooled 911 . yes the 997 GT3 is second to me in looks. perf wise, you can't really argue, right?

I think I get a little touchy over it because there used to be a guy with a Red MKI aero that lived in the same 'burb as me who had horrible chrome wheels on his car with turbo rear offsets that stuck out past the rear fenders and a GT3 badge on the back...annoyed the hell out of me esp since most people who saw the car thought it was mine!

love that video, the Mk1 GT3 CS and the 996 RS, super rare.... all time fav
since we're splitting hairs... Porsche offers the debadging as an option.
BTW.... 4 page discussion for badge-no badge (plus other previous badge-no badge threads)... Like Ben sez, Life is good!

Since we're splitting hairs over badges, I will say that the 996 Carrera4S badge is the best looking badge of all-time. That swoopy S that looks like a winding road is absolutely spot-on set off in gray.
I'd never leave that thing off. It fills out the back nicely.

I agree that it's funny that there's soo many different (and strong) opinions on this topic. The worst part is that we argue over something that's basically a personal preference and everyone wants to try to best justify how they feel. In the end it's simple preference and nobody should have the right to tell anyone else that their car is "bad".

on the 997 c4s, it's ok to do since it's not as big as the 996 S and the same color as the carrera.
now would i spend $ to get it in red? no. just don't care enough for it.
my car came from the factory unbadged. i spent the $70 or so to get teh carrera 4s on there and there is a thread that displays the measurements per my ask.
