Still, why would they remove that sticker?

This sticker was never put on this manual either. I know it is the original manual as it was stamped by The Collection on 12/1/04 for its "in service date".
The Service writer I spoke with there said that he had no idea how to get the stickers. He gave me a list of the options ordered with the car and a list of the Services done to it. Where could I get these stickers? Thinking about it now, I feel naked without them.....

As we all know Porsche AG is not perfectly consistent and it is possible the factory did not place the stickers in either location. Over the years I have seen, on other models, instances where one of the two stickers was not present. Some people think the one on the car is a temporary manufacturing label and they remove it. That is understandable when you compare its quality to the other labels on the car.

I spoke with Gustavo at The Collection today and he is taking care of the sickers for me. Very cool dude, turns out his father and my father used to race Porsches back in the day (70's & 80's)in Puerto Rico together.

Your car looks great. But I think you should have gotten a GT2 instead as it is a younger man's car!

Talk about non sequitur. Where did the demographics study for that statement come from?
