Alpine white 335i m-sport: debadge, gloss or matte?

I know you've been asked this a thousand times, but I'm asking again anyway. I've attached a poll to just get feedback that way more than anything.

So I pick up my alpine white 335i m-sport on Saturday. The first thing I want to do is remove the x-drive badge and either remove the 335i badge or replace it with a black badge.

So, which should I go with? Debadge or replace with a gloss or matte badge? I greatly appreciate your feedback!

Thank you!

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm debadged at the moment.

Now to decide on if I get a trunk spoiler or not. If I do, black or white. I'll likely put up a new poll at some point.
