Shave the Front Emblem?

My BRZ is currently in the shop getting some cosmetic work done. I have the opportunity to shave the front emblem before the bumper is painted. What do you guys think?

I haven't been able to find any pictures of this on any FR-S or BRZ yet!

EDIT:

The answer is yes...

Mine goes into the shop next week for bumper repair. Already told the body shop not to put another emblem on.
