Default Rear Badge: Yes or No?

I have been debating whether or not I should put the rear badge on my car (I have a factory badge on my desk ready to go - Black).

I do like a clean look and so it really doesn't look bad without it. My other car I removed all badges/emblems when I had the body work done.

So I am asking you the Rennlist community what do you think?

I took a picture as it is now. Was going to take a picture of it with the badge temporarily in place however it will have either a white piece of paper around it (what the badge is attached to), or I would have to take off the white piece of paper which I do not want to do unless I am attaching it permanently.

If I do go with the badge, I will then have to find out where exactly it is suppose to be placed.

i like the badge too, I think a silver carrera would look awesome with your paint. oh and to put it on, it may be worth it to have the dealer do it, then if they screw it up, you can have them fix it.

Looks like a kit car without a badge - put it on and I actually like the silver Carrera on the yellow cars

OK...so I have heard a Silver Badge a couple of times now, would that not clash with the Black Bumperettes? I know I am now opeing up to being told 'get them painted', but right now I will leave them Black. But does that change the decision on the colour of Badge if I go with a badge? If I leave the Black Bumperettes in place doesn't a Black Badge make sense to go with? If I get the Bumperettes painted yellow, does that mean I can use either Black or Silver as the Badge colour?

I say paint them, of course-- but I think it will still look great with a sliver badge and the bumperettes in black.

Hmmm, Porsche_Smile you bring-up a point. The badge I have says "Carrera", should I have a badge that says "911"?

one vote for no badge. If you need one go with the "911" version.
