Ours has 'em front and back. A lot of people don't like them but we like them a lot.

Yes, all '03 cars came with the front/rear emblems that said Anniversary 50 inside the oval of the emblem. Only the actual 50th AE cars had the 50th emblems on the front fenders.

Or, the owners liked how the deck lid looked with without the emblem.

I recently replaced the front and back emblems on my `03 AE and when I took the back one off, I really liked how the clean deck lid looked. I would have left it off, but the paint had a ghost of the emblem in the finish.

I tried polishing it out, but I suspect it was a slight discoloration in one of the undercoats due to age/UV, etc. So, I ended up putting the new emblem on to replace the old one.

Had there not been a ghost in the paint, I definitely would have left it off, despite the $80 price tag. IMO, the car looks much better without the deck lid emblem.

Default Front fender emblem.

I did repaint the front fenders on my 50 anniversary, but by a mistake I did not take notice of the exact placement of the front fender emblems. Is there anyone that can help me with this problem?
Thank you, Tom

I have the front emblem on my car but I did remove the rear because I like how clean it looked without it. If the front didn't use holes to mount I would have removed it too.

A BIG thank you! I took your advice and removed my anne deck lid emblem. You are so right, it does clean up the rear deck so much. This goes with the saying less is more.
