I would offer them as-is, and let the buyer decide how to handle the recessed area. Some may want to color match to the car, some may want to polish everything but the recessed areas, some may want it black or with CF inserts. Let them do it
yes, I think selling the badge unfinished is a good idea, just because I want everyone to be able to make it look how THEY want it to look.

But for my personal badges I'm defiantly going to have them professionally finished.

Do you know if the heat from the powder coating will affect the anodize?
