Which sign at the back?

[Hamad]

Hello,

I'm picking up my new 991 next week. It's a Porsche approved 2013 C2 with around 12,000km on it. I'm very excited and look forward to getting behind the wheels. I was wondering what you guys would prefer for the back sign? I'm not quite convinced with the "P O R S C H E 911 Carrera". Everyone knows that it's a Porsche... I'm thinking of taking off the signs and keeping the 911 only.

Thoughts?

That's fine. Personal preference.

I just picked up my brand new, custom ordered 2014 991S Cabriolet with PowerKit 2 weeks ago. I ordered it model designation delete. It still comes from the factory with the "PORSCHE" badge. At the dealership, I had that removed, and replaced wit the flat black "PORSCHE" from the GT3's. Whatever floats your boat. Enjoy! :)

Thanks! Do you have a picture?

Not yet. Too busy driving it. I also sent out the exhaust tips to be ceramic coated in smooth flat black.

That's a riot White. I am doing exactly the same thing. I got the Black letters from suncoastparts.com. I also got a "PORSCHE" windshield decal and the white LED side marker lights. But, I don't get the car until May :-( So, HOWS THE CAR?? I bet it sucks! (A LOT OF AIR THAT IS). Got it broken in yet?? (only takes about 10,000 miles).

Car is G R E A T !!! I've done about 1,300 miles. Just got an oil change done yesterday. 5W40 Joe Gibbs DT40. Factory fill sample was sent to Blackstone. Should have results next week. Then another easy (below 4,200 RPM's) for another 700 miles, and then I plan to shift near redline every time out. LOL!!:) Thank you Dr. Porsche.

I sent my exhaust tips out for smooth black ceramic coating. Cost was about $275 total. Works great with the white car and black PORSCHE badge. I used CCP Coatings in Detroit. Grear results. About 1 week turnaround. Curt helped me at 313-369-2447. And now I don't have to obsess about the black soot from the DFI engine!! LOL!!:)

I heard back from my sales agent yesterday. The bodyshop don't recommend removing the Carrera sign "cause it'll leave marks on the body". Apparently removing the sign now is not recommended, unless I have the whole back side repainted. Not the most ideal outcome but I'd rather have the original paint... I'm supposed to collect it tomorrow :D

I think there was a misscommunication here. If you take the emblems off an older car you will see the outline of the letters in the clear coat. This is etched in by acid rain. You can usually rub it right out with a mild compound such as Menzerna 2500. Porsches have a very thick clear coat. Taking the emblems off a new car is no problem at all. They come right off and there is no outline to worry about. White and I are replaceing the PORSCHE letters with identical but black ones because we both have great taste and want the car to look just ...so.

Hey White. Have you used that coating before?? Tell us how it works please. My tips are already black fortunately because a set of black ones is a rediculous $1500.

I just sent off another oil sample. I'll pull out that thread and report on it. Post yours also!! We can all learn what these cars do.

I had ceramic coated FabSpeed bypass pipes on my 993 Turbo. The coating was excellent. I expect the same results on my 991 exhaust tips.

They look great. How long did you run them for? I had a 993 TT but got into a tight financial situation and had to sell it :-( Boy, was that a great car.

I ran the coated tips on my 993 Turbo for over a year and over 10,000 miles. I bought my Turbo for low $60's....drove it 40,000 miles, and sold it for low $90's. Hence, why I can afford a new $150K 991. LOL! :)

Way to go. Hopefully, I will be able to do that with my C4S. Regular 911s do not hold their value as well as Turbos but I got into mine pretty cheep.

Not sure I want to drive the Turbo year round. I though I might wait a year and get a 991 C4S with a power kit like yours to use as the daily driver. The thought of a Macan crossed my mind...........nahhh. I love driving these things to much. Got instant on ed by a cop today coming from the other direction. I saw him just as he saw me and I was on the brakes about the same time the detector went off. I was doing double the speed limit. He stuck his hand out the window pointed his index finger down then gave me the thumbs up!

The car was delivered few hours ago. To be honest I couldn't wait longer to have the signs removed :) I want to drive it over weekend and can't wait longer.. I might have them remove the signs when I take it in for service.

This car is powerful! Much more powerful than my old 997!!! :D

Now take it easy Hamad. You want to break it in carefully.
