Mostly I think there is a risk in using too WIDE a color range on a car (or when decorating a room in a home, or building a corporate logo, or anything else.) Nothing is wrong with red, or using it on the badge. I think (as a general guideline) you want two or maybe three primary colors and of course they should all sort of go together. On yours you have black mostly, yellow/gold from the wheels/fogs/turns and the natural white that reflects off the lenses. The last one, unfortunately you can't do much about. Three I think is sufficient, and the red is an "extra" color.

Note I do not say that red is of itself undesirable - it's only that there are too many colors going on at once. That's it! Nothing else wrong with the red badge. You could even make the fogs clear, the wheels black or silver, and add another red touch somewhere (RS badge?) if you love the red accent And if you think it's not good advice, that's OK too because you're talking to someone whose current modifications are adding a condenser guard, reaiming the headlights, rectifying the Bluetooth lack, and putting on those convex side mirrors for blind spots.
