I don't believe that to be the case. Not like the whole GTS Carrera script is any smaller.
911 is the same size
The only options they had were chrome 911 as ordered from factory when you only have 911 or the black numbers from a GTS "paragraph". The GTS paragraph numbers are in fact smaller.
The idea was simplify and black[and centered]. Was worn down and just went the easy route.
When I ordered my 15 GTS there were various options of what to get back there. I don't remember all of them, but I wanted "911 GTS", which wasn't an option. I got the paragraph, meaning to remove carrera and slide 911 and GTS together.
At any rate, I'm pretty certain "911" by itself was an option. Of course, it would have been black. I wonder if they used the exact 911 from the paragraph, or if they used a black version of the larger chrome 911 that comes on an S or Base when you just order 911?
Just out of curiousity, how come you decided to go with "Porsche" over all the other options out there you could have done, for example "Saab" or ""Lamborghini"?
Nicely done R_Rated! That looks great to me, but I guess we're in similar schools of thought on this one. Some part of my old-man brain still associates chrome finish with old cars.
I first did an experimental view of the blackened lettering using Photoshop; liked it; so I plasti-dipped it to still give me a way out if I didn't like it. That approach turned out nicer than I expected and was surprisingly easy. If it wears off too quickly I'll switch to the letters you used but for now I'll let this ride. I think it goes well with all of the black glass, lower trim, vents, black plates, etc.
It gets a little lost in the spotty shade I took the photo in here, but here it is. I'm also showing a close-up of the plasti-dipped letters so the surface detail is apparent and it's clear that the surface isn't nearly as nice as yours... but not all that bad either.
I really like the PORSCHE only lettering.
I currently have the beloved () 911 Carrera 4GTS but with the black lettering on black car, it's not as pronounced so I'm ok with it.
If I had a 4GTS... yeah... I'd keep the lettering too. That's rare enough to call it out!

Yessir, same school of thought! Wanted to freshen her up but also clean her up a little. I had the fast and furious trims on older cars and never had a really clean understated [modded] car. Same reason I will leave the standard rear deck lid vents.
I tried plasticity but admittedly did a rush job so it wasn't as robust as I hoped when washing. It did fix the color but not the business or the placement had I simply left the PORSCHE. This is permanent and I sleep better knowing it's right.
Everyone knows it's a Porsche so don't worry about the shadows! No cra is more recognized.
Just keep the stock emblems on and Plastidip dip them. Easy, painless, and removable later on. No need for a template. I did this to our old Audi with great results. $8.99 total. Look on youtube for Plastidip emblems. Something should pop up.

Plastidip is a cheap alternative if you simply want a color change with 10 ft away quality.
