Bret,

I took the emblem off the nose of my '94 and installed in its place the
Japanese Eunos "V" symbol - a silver and gold V shape on a dark blue
background.  The current "olympic torch" symbol is indeed attached by two
holes that have been drilled through the bumper.  It is possible to remove
it, though.  Just reach under the nose - yes it is possible - from under the
hood and you should feel two pegs sticking through the bumper.  They each
have a little square piece which, through friction, holds them down against
the car.  It is possible to remove the emblem with the pegs in place (Chris
Lambert did it, to aid in cleaning under the emblem) but if you're not
worried about saving the piece, like me, then you could just snap the pegs
off.  A flat head screwdriver and a cloth (to protect the paint) should
suffice.  Of course, you will be left with two holes.  That I don't have an
answer for.  Put a Eunos "V" symbol on!  Except that its pegs have a
different alignment, but that's another story.
