Default Badge or No Badge?

I'm on the fence and interested in hearing some opinions...

My car is currently debadged. Now wondering if I should reapply the badge to the back deck. If I reapply the badge, the "Boxster" will be in silver and the "S" in red.

Here's a few pics to help visualize:

Leave it de-badged.

Debatable if I would remove a good badge from my Cayman.

My 993 has no badge. But I don’t see adding a badge back.

Debadged mine, looks much cleaner.

If you do reapply the badge, never been a fan of the red S. Always made the car look cheap.

What about the badge in Black? It would be the ultimate subtle. You wouldn't notice it from a distance but you'd be able to see it when you were within 5 or 10 feet of the car.

When we did PPF I did not have the lettering/badges put back on. My wife now refers to it as The Bald Egg 🤣

She drives a Corvette though so…😳

Seriously. I like it that way.

I would either debadge, or do this-which is what I did too.
