Put some bright LED lights behind the holes for that extra tunerz look.

i agree that it looks cleaner without the emblems but you have to finish the job and not just leave the holes there

If you replace the GS350 with Wald then leave "Lexus" on. I can't stand holes which is why I didn't remove my emblems...heard it cost a lot to have the holes professionally filled in too?

A little bit of bondo, touch up paint, wet sanding and a porter cable or a ton of elbow grease should be good enough shouldn't it?
