how about move the "BRZ" letters to where the Subaru badge is?

What do you guys think about getting rid of the Subaru badge at the back and move the "BRZ" letters to the center where the back badge is? So the back of the car will have BRZ as the back badge and nothing else?

Edit:
I added a photoshop pic to better illustrate what i mean.

There's holes in that panel that locate the emblem so you'd have to cover them up with the letters

I thought the back Subaru emblem is stuck on with 3M tape?

I believe it is, but it also has some "pins" that prevent the badge from being installed unlevel or off center.

No, it is that easy, but you'll have two holes. The emblem doesn't pop into these holes, they are just there to make sure the emblem is level.

yeah i agree. If you going to the trouble of patching the holes, you should leave it totally debadged. Thats what i did to my bumper which was a pain given the holes and the depression where the badge itself sits.
