991 Rear Deck Model Designation?

I recently orederd a 2013 base model 911 Carrera that I configured via the Porsche on configurator. I was looking at the configurator again recently and noticed an option to drop/add the rear deck model designation. I am hoping the car will arrive with the "Porsche 911 Carrera" designation. Question: do all 991 Carrera's come as I am hoping for?

The "PORSCHE" lettering is there by default and cannot be removed (at least from the factory), now below that you can either have nothing (drop designation), "911" (option), or "911 Carrera" which which will be there by default if you do nothing.

Good luck with the order!

I use the Porsche and 911 which is a throwback to the early 911s and is clean and simple. Carrera is on the car several other places.

Mine just says "Porsche" with "911" underneath.
No "Carrera S" required as those in the know will appreciate what they're looking at..

I just had my Porsche lettering painted to match the Agate grey exterior of my car...I am pleased with it! I also had it lowered as it would be from the factory (I removed the 911 Carrera S story)...

That looks great with the Agate letters. Were the letters removed, painted, and then reapplied? Or painted on the car?

Had my body shop order a new set of letters, he painted them, removed the chrome letters, and then applied Agate letters...that cut way down on my waiting...and saved me a trip!

I am planning on removing "911 Carerra S" and just leaving the "Porsche" block lettering.

Then I am going to try and Plasti-Dip the lettering matte black.

Here is a video of someone Plasti-Dipping Panamera emblems I'm gonna try it on my work truck first to be safe...

I'm about to order a '13 C4S.

What does anyone think about model designation delete on the tail (just Porsche there) and then along the side of door bottoms the model designation in silver for a black car or for the royal blue would black or silver be better? Anyway, that and the smokers package for a little cubby space cover (I don't smoke), and deciding on the sport techno wheels were the few things I was mixing around as last details before giving final details to the sales rep.
