Default White cars, show me your custom 997 rear badge please?

Bonus if you already have a Sport Classic or Getty ducktail.

I've ordered the Getty ducktail for my '09 Carrera White C2S and I'm undecided on what to do with the badge. I've tried searching for photos but they're hard to find on white cars. Here are the options I'm considering but I'm open to others.

I vote for "911 S" black 911, Red S

Here's an example I found of this on the interweb:

I like the silver on the stock white car, but would vote to delete it completely.

This is what I’m considering doing if I can ever save up for a Ducktail. Carrera S on the right side of the spoiler.

That's great, thank you.

Good point, I should have included that as an option.

That's pretty slick. Would you still do red letters on your black car?

I like the black with red, but like Carrera more than 911 so voted that way.

Had to add though that the rear wheel offsets on this car are terrible.

Exactly my thoughts this morning!
I've a white 997.1 too, so all this while I've only been leering at the tail and completely ignored the awful rear wheel offset.

I really like that faint "PORSCHE" across the bottom too. Not sure it would work on white though.

Maybe if you went with a light silver or gray, giving it a ghost appearance. IMO, on mine, I wouldn't. It would make the rear look too busy.
