I think a car without a badge looks like "So I have the cheapest model but I want you to think that I don't".

Particularly this bright yellow car with the big wing. To me, the absence of a badge makes it seem as though the owner is trying to pass it off as something it's not.
I recommend a Carrera badge in the color you like best.

Thanks to all of you that have responded so far.
As of now I am seeing the following:
Badge = Yes
Colour = Black
Wording = tied between Carrera and 911
So lets keep them coming so that I have a good understanding of what everyone thinks, although I know it always comes down to personal preference. But again I am on the fence post for me so what I see here may make up my mind.

Here's mine:

I think the black badge looks cheap and I'd definitely go with Carrera because no crap it's a 911.
I like the Carrera lettering as well as it's longer so the back end looks more filled out.
I'd get it in silver just like the Carrera sign on the big boy Carrera GT. I like how the silver blends better and doesn't pop out so much like the black. Plus the finish on the silver one is this luster, metallic style which looks quality.
We're all seriously splitting hairs here, but hey... you asked, you git.

Ok we are now leaning more towards the Silver Carrera badge but with Yellow Bumperettes. Having a Silver Badge with Black Bumperettes in my mind would not look right.
So far know one with a Yellow car has shown me there's, that would definately help.
Other points that I have read:
- black badge looks cheap (definately do not want that appearance)
- the clean look lets them guess what car it is (hopefully they know it is a Porsche at least, but I guess a bit more information would help them)
- definately do not want to put something on that it is not (i.e. it is not a GT3 so no GT3 badge - hate that)
- with no badge you avoid catching the towel on the edges of the badge leaving behind strands or even worse, pulling the badge away from the body (hate that when it happens)
Keep it coming...much appreciated, the git
