I bought my 99 used in 2001 and quickly debadged. I had ghost logos for a while but now you'd never even know they were there.
I'd say peel them off carefully. Use some type of adhesive remover that won't damage the paint. Clay bar, wax and then let time do it's thing. You'll know it's there but others will hardly notice at all until it all blends in over time.![]()
