As 2 others have pointed out above get black 911 and call it a day. Looks super clean and adds a little texture to an otherwise large expanse of smooth plastic.

Which is more than I can say for my 99% of my fellow "millenial" generation.... Ugh.... Dont get me started on all that.... HA!!!

Millenial you say? Well at least you get a trophy for trying!

But with those three manufacturers - who cares which one it is....

I didn't mind the badge the first 8 years of my car's life in my hands, but now it's starting to make it look a little dated with its script style. So I think I will debadge and see how I like it. It already says PORSCHE on the rear glass, and who wouldn't know that it's a 911. But if I really won't like the naked look I'd add another PORSCHE where Carrera sign now sits.

I did the same thing to my Midnight Blue Carrera and I really like the clean look.

I countered that potential assumption by replacing my badging with scratches.
