Default Sticker on the 971 turbo spoiler when it splits?

For those that have the 971 turbo. Have you guys taken notice to a sticker that’s on the middle piece of the spoiler that gets revealed when it opens and splits to the sides?
I’ve seen a few turbos in real life and none of them on the street have had it so I’d like to remove it myself to have a clean surface but so far my dealer is uncertain if it’s ok to remove it. Would appreciate input on this greatly. Thanks guys

I have it on mine. I've noticed that the mechanism makes the top two pieces of the spoiler rub against the bottom piece. Without the sticker the paint would be scratched. I had my car wrapped and the wrap was placed over the sticker and I've noticed that the wrap has been damaged by the spoiler mechanism becuase the sticker to protect it is actually under the wrap.

It's there for a reason. Look closely and you'll see abrasion marks on it. As previous posted said without it your paint will be damaged - I think the sticker is the lesser of two evils
