First thing i did when i got my '07 997.1TT, 2.5 yrs ago was remove the Turbo badge- (did same with my '91 M5 many yrs ago)- like the clean look-
28 yr old son still doesn't understand my doing this- he loved the simple turbo badge-

I like the P O R S C H E badge on the 991 but not the script underneath it. It looks crowded to me. The worse offender is "PORSCHE 911 Carrera 4S". I don't even like rear license plate frame. If I could I would paint my four screws to match the yellow on NJ plates.

The badges above are 996/997 variants.
This is the 991 version:
And we offer all of these, in standard polished finishes or painted.
Depending on what you want/need, the standard 997 Turbo emblem, as pictured in the previous posts, is basic, simple and does the job. Adding these 991 versions to a 997 would not be suggested.

My wife's Cayenne has "Porsche Cayenne S" and you can tell that nobody ever detailed around each letter. First weekend we had it I polished as best I could around each letter.

The Turbo is known for its subtleness, changing it to a busier scheme will make it look cheap in my opinion, like saying "I don't have the latest 991 but maybe I can fool you If I use its badge".
Those who know what the car is will recognize and respect it without any badges. Those who don't, I really don't care to inform them what I'm driving anyways. This is of course, my humble subjective personal opinion, no offense to the OP.

I am inclined to agree with you guys... its been playing on my mind but i dont think it will match the look of the 997 and its true the "turbo" badge is a classic look and best not to mess with.. maybe change to a satin silver but i think im leaving it as is... the PORSCHE looked good on a carrera that I saw but it would be too busy with the wing and turbo badge on the 997. I wasnt thinking of it in the way that it would look updated etc.. I just like it on the old school 911s from the 60's and 70's .. but the more i think about it like i said it doesn't suit the 997 but does look good on the 991 but i hate how they give the model etc on them now ....
cheers guys and thanks for the input !
