Re: Safely removing emblem badging?

I'd stay away from Goof-Off and instead use 3M-Adhesive remover. It's what Griots Garage in Tacoma sells and recommends because it won't damage paint or clearcoat.

Try swapping left/right connections at the head unit to see if the other speaker quits -and/or- a continuity test of the speaker wires.

Re: any way to make these clear agian?

replacement glass ttops are readily available at junk-yards and cost about $40/set or less. If it's not in your budget right now, it's probably worth saving up for them.

Re: Which to buy? 88 Iroc Vert or 90 RS Vert

more rare doesn't always mean more valuable.

If you decide to leave stock, then get the IROC.
If you want to swap engines, then get the RS.
