You could probably remove it with some heat. Use a hair dryer and heat up the glued area, see if it looses, then just take it off. That's the way you shave off the emblems on the rear, they are just glued on, so it should work on those as well.

Yeah I would take it off man, looks cleaner. Give those little stops a bit of heat from a hair dryer and they should lift off fairly easy.

Good Luck

I took mine off, also had the factory thing, well anyways I just moved it back and forth until its out (the rubber stopper), it will leave some sticky thing on the hood but I removed with baby oil and thats it.
