Shave em! You can always pur the embems on by sanding or cutting of the mounting pins...jus make sure you put them on straight! I am goin through the same dilemna as you are and i've decided to shave them all...what i'm going to do is write down exactly where the center of each emble is at all dimensions so if i decide to add emblems i'll be able to put them on in stock configuration. Good luck dawg!
