Default To shave, or not to shave...

Well, I looked at my car today and I kinda want to shave off the Toyota sign that goes in the middle and keep the Soarer, what do you guys think?

The shops charging me $100 to shave the 3 holes that hold the Toyota. They'll weld, grind, and re-prime it.

The OEM LED Spoiler will be put back on, I just think the car's sexy with it, especially when it lights up

Edit:

I forgot to add a poll..

Here's the options:

1. Keep the emblems
2. Shave the Toyota, keep the Soarer
3. Shave the Soarer, keep the Toyota
4. Shave them both.

Hehehe, I'm lucky, I actually didn't know Soarer's didn't have antennas. Atleast I won't look like an R/C car when I'm driving around listening to the radio lol

I already have a Toyota sign that fills in those 3 holes. I have the Soarer emblems also, the came with the car.

What's DWP?
Guessing Diamond White Pearl?

I'm getting a bit of a custom white pearl on it. Will post pics when it's painted. This thread's to see if I should spend the $100, or leave it be.
