Did it to both of mine- just looks correct IMHO, and Porsche did it on some of the special 914's back in the day. Looks "empty" without it AFAIC... Just make sure it is in the right place. Some place it too high on the hood and then it looks horrible.
It's a matter of taste.
Just noticed you put a passenger side mirror on yours. Did you find an actual pass side mirror or just flip a driver's side one? ( I know the bolts are already in the door- just too damned nervous to drill the holes!!)

Porsche never put a hood badge on any 914 until the 916 came along, and then they put it on the back panel!!!!!! (almost like they were ashamed of the car) but we know of course for the most part it was because of the agreement they had with vw. If they did not want to put their hood badge on the 914 we do not either. That makes the 914 stand out on its own as the only so called PORSCHE without the max hoffman made up family crest shield!!!

As for the mirror, it is an actual passenger side mirror. It was an add-on by the original owner (the car has only had 3 owners, including myself), and it looks like he pulled the inner door panel off to find the bolts- thank goodness

WOW! Too cool! As the former owner of 4 914-6s, a 72 1.7, 4 73 2.0s I am in pain right now wanting at least one of them back. Also, never saw a 6 without a hood badge and added the badge to all my 2.0 cars.
Great color too.
I'll give you $10,000 for it. Should be a significant profit for you.
