Each to their own but in my opinion a up-badge is little tacky and de-badge usually indicates a low spec model
I guess if you saw my cars, you'd assume they are all low spec models (I de-badge all my cars, from factory if possible), but that would not be an accurate assessment. I personally don't care what trim other people think I drive, I'm just pointing out that your bias would result in incorrect assumptions.

I couldn't care less that people rebadge their cars. I saw a 718 at the Porsche Service with a Prius badge, I thought it was hilarious. It also wouldn't bother me if someone bought a RWD Taycan and put a Turbo S badge on it - if it makes the owner happy, why not?

I decided to do a red "S" and mimic the Weissach interior badge and make my electric emblem to "redshift"
I tried to get it as close to the font.

Classy, sporty and really OEM like. I really like it, and hate to ask this question; are you not afraid of losing warranty by making it obvious you have a tuned vehicle?

how did you create the badges? Some kind of laser technology to print/burn logos? And the badge at the outside, how did you manage to mimic the Porsche font?

...that is the question.

Hypothetically speaking; if you did get or would get the upgrade from @redshift-performance, would you re-badge your car to match its new-found personality or de-badge it, so as to avoid a future personality conflict?
I just bought a CPO 4S and the original owner ordered it de-badged. Then they installed "Turbo S" badging. The first thing I asked the dealer was if they could be removed without damaging the paint. Do. Not. Upbadge.
