I did the same to mine. I painted it black just like my rear emblems.

take it off, throw it away, and order one of those sweet front emblems made of CF. i have it on the front of mine and it looks real good with the black paint. much better than the silver...

evo IX is hard to take off the emblem. i never really looked at it but i think the bumper has to come off to get the bracket.

I didn't remove the bracket. I haven't seen very many that have. At first I hated it, but it doesn't bother me now.
