i could have ended up with the crest on the seat head rests (x2), door sills (x2), windstop bringing the total to 20, add in the running board decal and you could load it up to 22...

lol, well when my spoiler pops up it says "boxster" so does that count?
dont worry flavor I agree not everyone will like the same things. Personally, i'm not completely sold on it myself and it is my car! However, it was done to hide a scar on the trunk and it does it well. IMHO I prefer the most I think just a de-badged trunk... but who knows if I was to change it every time my opinion on the matter changed I would have to have 3 trunks so I could switch it out.

It looks fine. I've also wondered "remove the Boxster, don't remove the Boxster - then add 986 or that emblem...." It's never ending. My wife likes the Boxster so that's how it stays.

People really wouldn't be able to tell if you were coming or going with an emblem on both sides. I like nothing on the rear deck. Just plain.

IMHO, it looks a little garish.
A Porsche, any porsche, is one of the most distinctive cars on the road - especially in today's world of convoluted CAD teardrop shaping. There's no mistaking what it is already, no need to 'badge' it up.
This is the stuff for those guys who wear Porsche hats, porsche shirts, porsche belt buckles, using porsche money clips, lighters and flash drives - an appendage extender!
'Course... if you like it...
Cheers!

Lil B, I do have to say that I can see your point in that comment. It can be a bit much, considering not a single modern Porsche has the emblem on the back, not even the Cayenne, which has plenty of room for one. I guess it's in keeping with the formula. Front, badge. Rear, name/number (and/or) P O R S C H E
