   i have seen a few which colour code the badges that looks quite cool and cheaper than smoothing and repainting

   keep it like that. I have seen many saxo going all black with black limo tints etc, doesn't look great. But that's just my opinion. I'd keep the red, maybe you could consider tinting the white part..
   
   There's also the option of getting some smoked jewels, or (some are going to scream) slightly smoked black lexus without the reflecting bits ?
   
   And to answer the question: you have the choice of either debadge it, or paint/Tcut the badges (cheaper)
