Reapplying Rear Model Designation

Has anyone had a dealership reapply the rear model designation?

I removed mine off my panamera gts, but now I am reconsidering putting it back on. Just wanted to know if anyone had it done and whether it looked like it did from the factory

Thanks

Would anyone be willing to take the measurements seen in the attachment for me? I know it's a lot to ask but the dealerships haven't been much help and also reached out to suncoast and bumperplugs neither of which have templates. Basically said to work off measurements.

The measurements I am looking for are as follows:
A) from the bottom of the rear decklid molding to the bottom of the last "A" in panamera
B) from the top right corner of the last "A" in panamera to the G
C) From the top right of the G to the horizontal in the T
D) From the P to the bottom of the first "A" in panamera

Any other measurements you think would be important would be greatly appreciated

Thank you to anyone willing to help me in advance

IMHO just put the GTS back on, skip the Panamera. I removed the Panamera Turbo factory model designation and replaced it with the Turbo nomenclature from the 911. Looks great.

That's the other idea I've been toying with. It would be a lot easier to do than the whole panamera GTS reapply. Been staring at it this weekend and the P seems to be the trickiest part IMO.

Can you post a picture of yours? I'll post what mine looks like ASAP.

I think the GTS delete makes the car look like the entry level V-6
you paid for the the GTS put it back, IMHO

the turbo by itself looks great

I agree. I am going to put on either the whole thing or just the GTS this weekend. I am kicking myself for taking it off. It's too bare IMO. For what it's worth my wife's 991 looks fantastic with no model designation and just the Porsche.

Thanks for the reference photos.

If anyone has a GTS and would be able to help me with measurements from the image that I posted last week I would be grateful.

My car had the model designation on the doors. I had those removed before delivery.

Going to attempt to put the emblems back on the rear tomorrow. Working off of the photos you send for height and other photos from the internet for spacing. I also got a little lucky. Ordered another set of the emblems from Suncoast and the emblems are placed correctly with adhesive. Problem is the P is separate and obviously the GTS but it helps having them laid out OEM. Hopefully it works out.

My wife likes no designation on hers so its going to stay with just the Porsche for now.
