Default "Porsche" name on rear window and grille

I have 2006 CTT that I have had several months. I am in love with it. Am still learning things. I have noticed "Porsche" written across the top of the rear window. I only see it when I open the rear hatch and I see it as if it were a reflection. So it appears that it is meant to be read from outside in back of the CT. Problem is, I cannot read it when the rear hatch is shut. Anyone know what the heck??
Also, anyone know where I can get a used right front grille? Close encounter with highway pylon took mine.
Thanks

The rear logo is barely visible because the P!g is mostly VAG with only a ghost of Porsche inside.

You can probably get a new part at Suncoast or Sunset. Used parts are found at the bottom of the cliff (or maybe LA Dismantlers.) Bring a snorkel if you go to the cliff, and pay no attention to the man in the lounge chair.

I put badging on the hatch of my Cayenne and only after I did it and posted pics did someone point out the teeny, tiny letters at the top of the rear window. I'd been driving the thing for months and never noticed it; it's ridiculously small and poorly placed.

It's more fun when people think the Cayenne is a Hyundai Sante Fe

Please, I've approached my P!G from the back, in the dark only to see it's a Nissan Murano at least twice. No joke

Why is this totally not ringing a bell with me... do we all have ghost-like insignia on the window, that we don't know is there? Subliminal messaging?

Dunno about everyone. I do. Odd. Especially since it can only be seen when the tailgate is open. I would have been much happier with "PORSCHE" spelled out above the "Cayenne S" (and I'd do it - except mine is Titanium lettering, not chrome..)

As long as your boyfriends don't say the same thing, I think you're golden!
