Good point! When I ordered my GTS I was very unhappy with the small GTS logos on each door. I simply asked that they not be applied. The only way a casual viewer knows it is a GTS is when he sees the rear logo. It does not matter to me as I am the only one who knows it is a GTS and I do not want to advertise. I do not own the GTS to show off. I just like driving it. Quite frankly, when people make kind remarks I just respond with a smiling "thank you".

The majority's opinion is meaningless. It's mine that counts & I like the side decals. Go for it!

To me the small decals on the front and bottom of the door are tasteful.

The larger decal seems redundant and a little overdone...everyone knows it is a Porsche and you sure as hell know it's a Porsche. I drive it because it is a badazz sports car I don't really need the attention over it.

On the other hand, when I was a kid, I always liked seeing this decal on the Porsches so there is a bit of nostalgia for me which is appealing.

I realize this is another opinion thread and we are all different but I'd like to see/read people's comments.

Quick PS to see what it might look like on my CS2. I will stick with the Aerokit!

I think your font is a bit off and it is too low. I would take it off and reapply it.

Actually, I was just thinking of badging it as a GT3RS, and getting black decals for the front brake vents and side in takes. Why stop at the PORSCHE decal? The wing though......hard to do that with a decal.

I put on the side decals because I think they are a nice nod to 911s of the past, I like that they differentiate my 911 from the many others on the road here in LA, and I think they make my GTS look even more sporty. I also got rid of the wordy "Porsche 911 Carrera GTS" decal on the back and simplified it with "911 GTS."

or maybe even really copy the 911R and do a second color for the PORSCHE lettering. Perhaps red to pick up your calipers?

I am totally on the same page. They are going on my car. No doubt. I only have the Porsche on my back. I ordered the model delete.

I saw this today a few blocks from my home. He is a fellow car lover. I am on the right track. I'm going to do it. Thanks for the feedback guys.

I thought this was a democracy. The majority voted no.
