Default GTS Decal Delete

Not a big fan of decals so I removed my "Carrera GTS" decals from the doors of my new black GTS.

Anyone else do the same. They can be pulled off with your finger/nails so now big deal to replace either. I prefer a clean look and flt that the decals were a distraction from the limes of the car.

Your thoughts?

How about a simple red GTS othe side or rear... You'd need to have it custom screended and laser cut... Could be a nice touch with the red callipers and some red front seat belts...

Might look OK, but I think that less is more sometimes and kind of like the stealth look.

I actually prefer it with the decals - although I dont have any. I like the GTS decals - classy / understated. But its a personal preference thing obviously.

+1 I'm usually not a fan of that kind of thing but these aren't overdone and I would have left them.

Less is more. If you take it to the next step--taking all that stuff off the deck lid, no one will know it to be any different from a Carrera 4S!

Definitely a personal preference item.
And, I think the deletion is much more noticeable on the Black GTS than it would be (Photoshop) on my Silver GTS.
I like mine. They're stayin' on.

I like the GTS decals. They set the car apart and are IMHO tastefully understated. But it's all personal preference.

My white one has badge delete so I guess that I will leave the decals, but both might have been a little too much...

I really love what Porsche has done with the GTS! I've seen 2 personally and they both looked beautiful. I think they really nailed it. On the issue of the decals, it's so subtle that it is not a big issue but I believe it looks better without.

It's too understated to noticed any difference, it looks good with or without it. But the whole 'Carrera GTS' in the rear is too much, looks better with just 'GTS'

I think it depends on the color.

I like mine on.
