The front one you'll need to replace, there are locating holes for the emblem. The back can be removed no holes, and you won't have to wax or clean around it.

Default Only replace 1

Replace the front one, remove the deck lid one (a fishing line and a little patience). Only one that sees that emblem are birds. One less hassle when detailing your car. Oh, since we are all going 'green', you might gain 0.001 mpg due to less wind resistance over the rear.

Good plan.

No they would probly sue him for personal injury since it is his car. I know that is kind of a pesamistic response, but it is the world we live in today.
