How much b4 ok to show off?

Maybe the title isn't as direct, but here is what I want to get some opinions on;
How much does one have to modify/add to the car before its okay to put a logo on the car?
Now I'm not talking about AMG posing, I'm talking about likes of Brabus, Renntech and Kleemann. What would warrant getting one of those logos displayed?
I Personaly want to get Brabus wheels, door sils, pedals and door pins. But w/o Brabus performance parts I'm for some reason uncomfortable getting a Brabus displayed on the trunk lid.
Any opinions?

Don't floss it, unless you got it.

IMO I don't think it's ever okay if YOU put the logo on yourself.

If Brabus put the logo on your car after they do work for you, then you can leave it.

I think you can leave logos, you can take them off, but you can never put them on.

I would personally want a full body OR performance package from Brabus before I put any emblems on. Wheels alone (plus rando other pieces) don't do the trick for me.

Why not install some Maybach wheels and put a Maybach badge on the trunk?... Food for thought. IMHO
