Default New "PORSCHE" letters. Opinion?

Added a new "PORSCHE" emblem to the rear spoiler/wing. But I can't decide if it's more of a "clean" style without it, or if I shall keep it and perhaps let it grow on me a little. Because I'm not really pleased with it on as it is right now to be honest.
What do you guys think?





With kind regards, Jonathan.

I think the lettering does not belong on 997 models. "911" looks best.

I say remove it. The new style Porsche logo is for the newer cars.

I kind of like it, but I'm going to leave mine with no designations.

I like it, just 911 works as well, however that is for newer cars as well.

With, but Make sure to study the spacing/kerning when the dealer does the 911 badging... Otherwise it may look off.

I don't think it looks bad at all. Keep it if you like it.

I think it'd be much better if it was painted the same color as the body. It's just awkward because there's not other chrome for it match with. You need to match the belt with the shoes.

Had a 986 boxster a few years ago, and got to say it did look better on the boxster than the 911.

Not for these cars. Looks unbalanced and clumsy. Just my opinion.
