Default Is it possible to "shave" the side emblems?

I wanna get rid of my GT emblems on the side. I hate side emblems on cars. Think it looks so much cleaner without them. But I'm sure there's holes under it, as always, so does anyone have any idea how much it should cost to fill em and paint over??

Yep. I'm doing it myself. That, the antenna, and something else no one has done on a Mustang and I've only ever seen once before.

Find somebody with a standard V6 car and swap fenders!

I thought about shedding the emblems altogether and decided i'd rather have the emblems, just different form everyone else's. i ran across some billet GT emblems the other day on UPR I think. they looked great, i would love to find some black anodized ones. I also thought about paiting some of the stock one matte black and then filling in the line in the center with grabber blue. i guess if you want stealth you could even paint them body color, they would almost disappear kind of like ghost flames lol, ghost emblems.

I like the shaved, smooth look. I already have all the lights except my taillights smoked (not blacked out).

For $200/side, I could buy the aftermarket fenders and get a little styling with it for just a bit more.

Idk, it was just a thought. I'll come up with something
