991 Rear Lettering - 1,2,3 or 4?

Sadly polls have now their own section, so your personal opinion is required.

The rear of the 997 looked good with or without lettering.
With the new 991 it´s not that easy.
It has thinner taillights, the bumper is different. All this leads to a bigger gap/space there.
Porsche has decided to fill it with the "Porsche" lettering (like the classic 911s of the 70s had) as well as with the whole model designation (incl. 911), which is also smaller than the one on the 997.


What do you like best on the new 991?

1. Porsche lettering + model designation
2. Model designation only
3. Porsche lettering only
4. nakedness

Without any lettering, is like staring at a bare butt
With P O R S C H E, it is like staring at a butt with thong
With P O R S C H E plus 911, it is like staring at a butt with a sexy underwear
With P O R S C H E plus full model name, is like... hmmm...

it is all personal preference, but that is a large surface area to be without a logo, or logo type

Either 3 or I may consider putting Carreras S/ 4S script From 997 on.

I'd go with just 911 on the deck. Last I knew Porsche only offered model name change or delete. Obviously dental floss can fix any of those issues.

The word Porsche on the deck is way too much. I so much preferred that on the lower rear glass (997s); very subtle. If you were too stick with what the factory offers, then Porsche would remain, iirc, and 911 beneath. Classic and minimal. I don't like the bare look at at.

Just "911" is more than enough, or Carrera / Carrera S like others have suggested

My first choice is to remove all the lettering and replace the Carrera S (so it's centered). Second choice is the Remove Model Designation option so that all remains is 'PORSCHE' just like the original 356 & 911 cars. Last choice is to leave '911' as only designation.

Main point is to only have 1 line of text on the rear...
