Just too much open space there. I'd personally leave it.

Body painted logo's are even worse than de-badging in my opinion.
Ditto +1.

The rear needs a just that little bit of chrome. Looks plain without IMHO. For the 991, I'd leave the porsche lettering on (highlight the nice width) and off with the small carrera lettering (two dueling porsche people were assigned that task).

Debadging is a Euro and tuner thing.

Actually we should have much much bigger badges. I travel a lot and park at a secure park n fly, but no less than 3 times in the last 6 months different drivers have announced as they approach my Carrera, "gray Camaro". I'm not kidding. Couldn't make this up.

I'm debadging next week. All letters are a distraction from the design of the car, pushed by the marketing department. I bet if you asked the guy who drew up the car, he would prefer the nude version, but I can't prove it. I don't like captions on my pictures either, or letters on my shirt. Everybody is different though. A friend of mine left all the stickers and labels on his TV... As far as the porsche lettering design goes, it's not bad in general. But I've always thought that S was hideous, even before I owned one. But I fully understand the philosophy of wanting to leave things alone. But the 991 rear end looks like a bulletin board. It shows that we can't leave it all to Porsche. But I wouldnt move it off center. What would that accomplish?

It's a Techart Type 1 that mounts to the stock deck lid.

Yeah, that would look good but after removing that part of it I think Porsche would need to be centered! jmo

My other cars are debadged and look great.
Not trying to be a sleeper or anything, not that the car has stats for that.....
Just going for that cleaner look and wondering if anyone else has gone this route on their Porsche......any comments or input welcome......







not a fan of debadge
