Debadge for sure. It's not like the cognoscenti won't already know it's a Targa.

The prominent red reflector on the rear of the widebody cars pictured looks better without a model designation than the cars w/o the long red reflector merging the tail lights. Personally, I think the other 911 cars look much more plain w/o a badge.


Somebody post a non 4 car that is rebadged and the difference will be pretty clear. I've wondered if the red reflector should be on all 911s. I like the retro look it gives the car.

Debadge - I always thought the 997 Targa 4 was redundant anyway since there is no 997 Targa 2.

Heat gun and fishing line works great! Be very careful prying them off. Fishing line just glides right down when the adhesive is warm!!! Good Luck and post a pic. I've done all my other cars, but left this one alone.

Please do not use anything to pry the emblem off. I use a hair dryer and some floss and it comes right off - no damage to the emblem or the car.

Keep it. You can use some old style dental floss (string not the teflon crap) to take it off if you want. It's held on by dual stick tape.

I say keep it but I am looking forward to photos if you remove them.

I like the 991's lower "911 Carrera S" as it's small and adds the Model designation. Not a fan of the billboard like PORSCHE above though. Hmmmmm.

Every time I see a de-badged 911, it just seems to be missing something in my opinion.
Just too much open space there. I'd personally leave it.

Body painted logo's are even worse than de-badging in my opinion.

On the 991 I would delete only the model designation (to clean it up a little)...I really like the PORSCHE there!
