John, the Miata logo on the left (driver's side) is only glued on, 
however the Mazda emblem on the right is attached with a pin through a 
hole.  You'll have to get that filled and repainted if you want that one off.

1990 MX-5 Miata - Mariner Blue with double white stripes
1991 B-2200 - required due to aforementioned car's lack of trunk space
1973 RX-3 PRO rally car - really lonely now that we've built the RX-7
