I like it too. I thought about putting a red S there, still not sure if I'm going to do it in the future.

IMO I think adding the red "S" is a little tacky with just the "911". ; ) looks fine with the "Carrera" thou.

b2sc is infamous around these parts
Is the stock C/S emblem just adhered to the rear panel and not pinned so it can be coaxed off easily? What's the method to remove it?

Heat gun or hair dryer and dental floss.
Then little goo off, nail polish remover or wd40 to clean off

And you were probably right the first 10 years of your life. But after 1969 being a number/name purist is pointless. Carrera has been used to describe various models of these cars since the 356 and even standard 9xx models since at least the '70s. Our cars are as arguably Carreras as they are 911s especially since it is Porsche's prerogative to name them. You know what they say about a rose by any name...

It is retro for sure - like a 60s car, but if you like it - cool. I think it looks cool, but I like "Carrera" as well.

For true retro, you gotta have that wiper like Arerrac911 (nice name ) - what a great looking car!
