Black Dawg,
As you know by now, it won't be cheap to completely eliminate the side emblems. I chose to paint them instead. Not being a professional painter, I scuffed the emblem with fine-grit sandpaper, masked the entire area and painted the emblem using spray lacker found in any auto parts store. Once dry, I used a few coats of clear lacker to give it more depth. It really looks great!

I did something similar. I took the old 4x4 badges from the front grill/bumper area from a couple of late 80's trucks. 4x2's had a badge that said EFI instead. they were right below the driver side headlight. Anyway, I painted them black and mounted them under the F150 XLT Triton badge. They look awsome, sorry no pictures.
