Id leave the doors as is.
Id have the front STI emblems on the fogs done in antracite for a cleaner look and totally debadge the rear apart from the STI emblem.
Well thats what id do anyways
As for how to debadge it... use fishing line under the badges as this has least chance of marking the paint and this effectively cuts them off like a cheese wire

Think Im the minority on this one but I actually like the original Subaru badge across the back. So much so that when I had my rear boot painted I had the badge put back on!
Although from your pics I think having no badges on the back does give it a cleaner look so I can see the attraction.

I de-badged my one but didn't like it when I did so I put back on the WRX impreza and the STi badge in Black, I did leave off the Subaru lettering though!
Heres a pic.

I'd start by just removing the Subaru on the boot and then leave it a bit and see what you think. Personally i'd stop there as I think the rest look good.
Remember to use a hairdryer on the badges first before trying to remove them, also I didn't have any fishing wire so I used a few strands of cotton, it snapped a couple of times but still did the job. Use the hairdryer again on the remains of the glue and get some sort of sticky stuff remover on ito clean it up.
A good, free mod. I like those

Leave teh front alone IMHO.
As for the back I would leave the Sti & prodrive ones and get rid of everything else or just remove the Subaru as you did. I just think that having both WRX and Sti is a bit too much! Maybe they should have put a TURBO sticker as well then the car would be completely chanved
. If only the japanese employed better designers!
I used warm water to soften the glue then dental floss to remove the badges. Cleaned the rest with warm water and some degreaser.
Btw, where did you get the prodrive sticker from?

I parked my car up in Huntingdon and within 10 minutes someone thieved my 'Type-UK' badge below the STI so slowly mine is being debadged.
My STI badge will probably do a disappearing act next thing i'll just have to look out for the Nova 1.3SR going around with the STI and Type-UK badge and i'll know which thieving **** stole it.
