Looks like 10 points to me. Sure, why not?

People who don't know them as a tuner might think it's your name. It's not like the Hartge or ACS emblem. Personally I won't do it. Use the loud pedal to show them what you've got.

Yep, already had the matte M3 badge. Pics can be seen if you click on my car in the "garage list".

The Dinan badge just says, "I paid too much for my aftermarket parts!"
I had a lot of Dinan parts on my previous car.

Absolutely not IMO. It just adds clutter to the car. What is the point of telling people that you collected 10 "dinan points"? I personally like to keep things clean but it's your car.
