Default The Debadge or no?

Hello my new bromigo's of Porsche

I am considering the debadge for my Targa and wanted some input from Veterans on the matter......and noobs as well haha! I'm a noob!
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......

I would leave it alone. If you do make a change, add back the cleaner looking "911" badge.

It looks excellent right now.

I am not a fan of de-badging high end cars. Seems more like an Infiniti, Lexus street racer thing.

Great choice on the Guards Red.

Debadge! One thing i hated about the new 991's is the billboard like advertisement on it:

For a 997, I think I'd lean toward keeping la-badge-o. As Phily911 suggests, the 991s may be another answer.

I don't like the billboard on the 991's, however, I do like having Carrera (and a model designation on the deck lid).

It's funny though, every once in a while, people will compliment me on my Ferrari and ask what model it is.

I don't like debadge on 997 rear-end, if you like to remove Targa 4S, then just do the simple "911" badge.
