I had them done at the Porsche dealership, it came with black wheels originally.

Thanks! I briefly considered putting "GTS 4" on the back, but it seemed like it would be too obscure. Is he trying to make it like GT3, or GT4, etc? Those who care will know by the light bar.

(And from another thread, it seems adding the light bar to a non-4 is much harder than you'd expect. Different wiring harness back there. The person trying it gave up I think, and they were working with their local dealer to try and get the work done.)

Anything is better than "911 Carrera 4 GTS"--the length of the original was comical.

Good thing you were bored that day.
This is a great thread. Nice to see the variety.

I must admit all those the Targa vehicles look really amazing!

I am surprised by the number of owners who opted out of the GTS black wheels, they all look great, the contrast is wonderful. Great Job.

Let's see what you come up with when you are bored again.

LOL, this is what I have on mine and have gone back and forth on removing it. Surprisingly, a lot of in-person feedback (from non Porsche owners) I've received is to leave it. What makes it even tolerable is the fact that the black letters on black car make it less noticeable. Personally, I like the simple PORSCHE lettering with nothing else which is what I may end up doing.

I would agree if the alternative is nothing. I'm no fan of showing off branding, but de-badging makes cars look like they are missing something. Still, if you're considering changing it, just take it off entirely for a while and see how you like it. It's your car, and this is an easy thing to change around. (outside of having to overpay for those silly little letters)

My car is being paint corrected, etc. and I told the shop to leave off all lettering. On the black it's certainly easier on the eye, so no big deal either way. I will more than likely just put PORSCHE back, leaving off 911 Carrera GTS. Centering GTS under PORSCHE looks nice but since Porsche makes GTSs for all or most models it's rather inappropriate IMHO. And I think leaving the space totally blank (which I may do) will likely look naked.

Here is what I did with the rear badging. I like the decal look of the GT3RS. I custom designed the decal for a very reasonable price (you get two with the purchase) at http://www.designstuffonline.co.uk - I thought about putting 991 GTS but I figured that most people would think it was a typo, so I went with 911 GTS instead.

That 2nd picture you posted above is one of my all-time favorites. Rhodium is a sweet color, and quite rare for the GTS coupe.
