by adding the M5 trunk finisher you created a very clean / smooth look, so the badges would seem a little out of place IMHO. I think on Polepositions car it works better because of the slats on the ACS diffuser and trunk spoiler

+1 cleaner look
The whole point to debadging is to conceal the version of the car. Some time in the past 70s or early 80s, I can't remember, there were people/gangs in Germany that would kidnap the owner of high end cars, like BMW, when they saw the higher brand version. Now, people do it to conceal that they bought a cheaper version of a car...

I don't see it this way... I'm just trying to decide which would look better, badged with matte black text or debadged.

I would personally never go for a badge, but seeing polepositions CF version - it's so cool! So I voted for this look as you have a black car. Otehrwise I still think it's a no-no.
