Is anyone opting for either deleting the model designation or just going with 718? I am asking because after I submitted the build my SA asked if that was an option I wanted. I noticed that some of the lot cars only had 718 as the model designation. Is Porsche doing this to try to emphasize the new model? I hadn't really thought about it--just planned to stay with the standard model designation. What are others doing? Thoughts?

Just going with painted 718. Much easier to clean/wax that area without all the small letters.

I have the lava orange and had the 718 Boxster put in painted black and it really looks nice. As said above, a lot easier to clean. I also had 718 put on the doors in black. A lot of people have commented that they like that also. A possible reason for putting the 718 Boxster is that people that are not knowledgeable about Porsche Boxsters will not realize that it is the new model.

My car was a car off the lot and already had the "718 Cayman S" designation applied.

That's the way I would have ordered it if for no other reason than to make sure the 981 driver knew who just blew by.

I would be going with the painted 718 as well for the same reason everyone else mentioned. Otherwise I would have to break out the hog hair brush to clean around the letters and get utterly bothered when wax gets built up in there and I have to struggle to get it out..

I'm all about keeping the vehicle clean and getting rid of eveything except for the Porsche badges is the way i'm going about it.

I just can't help but think how clean it will look:

I went with no model designation on the Cayman S I just ordered. Wanted a cleaner look. On my last Boxster S I had the "S" painted red to match the calipers. I really liked that look as well.

does anyone with "rear model designation painted" have any pics to share? On a red car would be a bonus!

Had it on my previous car albeit in white. Didn’t like it so I swapped it out to black.

 

[Payman]

I did the model delete option… keeps ‘em guessing!

Beautiful car, beautiful garage - and I think the painted designation looks great in this!

I have a night blue CGTS with PORSCHE in satin black and just 718, but I didn't spec my car. My next one will not have the model designation as it is a cleaner look and is easier to wash and dry as the drying towel will frequently get caught on the 718 numbers.

Apparently you can remove the badge pretty easily with a hair dryer and fishing line. Search the forums for people that have done it.

Bought my 718 used. The original owner ordered it with the badge delete. I contemplated adding it back but after a while decided I prefer it the way it is.

Here's my Carmine Red with the painted model designation. It blends in so well you can hardly see it. 😀

Seriously, though, i can't personally see the value of paying $200+/- to make the model designation less visible, but still something to be careful when cleaning around (I snagged and broke two "S"s on my previous Carrera S). Rather, I prefer the clean look of the Cayman without the visual distraction of the model designation and side decals. But to each their own.

I think the Porsche model designations have gotten overly long so when I ordered my Cayman, I checked the box for model badge delete. Then, when my GTS arrived without the “718 Cayman GTS badge,“ I installed the “GTS” badge. I like the simpler, cleaner look.

Looks excellent - I'm considering the same for my CGTS (scheduled for May '23).

Went with the model designation delete option. I prefer the clean look without it. My wife's Macan also has the model designation delete.

 

[gfspencer]

My car has "718 T" on the back but I had the side stripes removed.

Here's our Macan with satin black PORSCHE.
