The Porsche badge looks all squeezed in where you put it
Though kudos to you for coming up with the idea of putting the front badge in the rear as well...great one
Now that my Jbm CT has all its trim painted,my rear logos stick out and look kind of tacky,so I was thinking about debadging the rear entirely...but I am thinking that just the Porsche crest(in silver)would be sweet and discrete

take it off imo. you don't need to over-emphasize what's clearly stated right below.
if you take of "Porsche" and put an identical EMBLEM (not a sticker), it may look OK. (I'd never do it but just throwing ideas out there)

I see a lot of that here in Kuwait. I'm not accusing you of this, Paxton, but this just came to mind: many Porsche buyers here are hooked on the concept of image and looking like they own the best car out there.
I've seen too many new Cayennes rolling around here with Porsche crests added above the "PORSCHE" logotype on the tailgate and also ahead of the front doors. Something more common, and far more irritating, is when buyers of base Porsches add an "S" logo next to the car name. The majority of base Cayennes I've seen always have a "Cayenne S" badge on the back even though the black calipers, smaller wheels, instrument gauges and air intakes give the car away. Same thing with Boxsters, Caymans, 911s and Panameras; I saw a base Panamera RWD with barely a handful of options being delivered to a customer a few months ago who requested the "Turbo" badge added to his car's tailgate! Shame, really. I'd be proud of driving any car with the Porsche crest and name attached to it without feeling the need to overcompensate for it.
Back to the point, though: Paxton, you drive a beautiful Cayenne and I think the logo alone would suffice. After all, you must have removed the Cayenne badges to de-clutter the rear, so why not keep it simple? Please show us more pics!

I was already on the fence but reading your opinions sealed the deal and I removed the crest!
Thanks to everyone who chimed in.
Now I'm thinking of blacking out the silver strip on the tailgate and doing the window trim as well, I purchased the Shadowline tape in gloss balck, anyone done it before?

I've always wondered if the PORSCHE lettering is at the same position for cars with factory deleted designation and cars without. I saw a debadged Cayenne yesterday and the PORSCHE lettering seems to sit more center vertically than mine with the badge. Or is that just an optical illusion?

Why stop at a "Cayenne S" logo when it is a v6 Cayenne. Why not just put "Cayenne Turbo S" and tell everyone you have something no one else has
