I think to debadge would be the way to go! That would permit central focus on the CF Roundel.
BTW, do you have the "sport" (non-chrome) trim - if not that would finish the look.

If you like the badging then black it out.
If your not too fussed about badging either way then get rid of it

No need for the parts # to order your shadowline, just call Garry (sticky in Parts threads). Shiny or matte, I think the emblems look nice. I did matte since I did regular shadowline and flat black exhaust tips. You can get the shadowline in gloss back as well. If you do that, then I'd do gloss badges. 2 cents
