You either follow the footsteps of "bargain wallas" or do your own thing. The buyer will check and doubt the whole ride even if the emblems ARE THERE. This emblems removal is also becoming a trend, though not that fast, but still. But anyways, you can enjoy your ride, your way by removing the screaming or swearing emblems and when you are in the mood to sell your ride to an idiot believing in "The Emblem Myth", just stick them back on with 3M double tape....I remember readjusting my Corolla Gli's "COROLLA" from right to left in place of the "TOYOTA" emblem and shaving off the right side for a genuine "S".
