I think they did a pretty clean job (What the...am I actually complimenting them?)...no scratches where on the car...except I did see some chipped paint in the holes. =/

haha, that they did...they/he/she just probably wanted to resell it in good condition...now, i'm kind of looking forward to just a clean hole covered and painted back...just not looking forward to spending 3 bills on it.

kinda weird they only took the wording and lettering and not the actual L emblem. usually punk kids will take the L emblem.

Nope! Not necessary. It's not the actual trunk lid that is drilled. The trunk lid is fitted with a plastic painted finish panel on the back side of it. It's the finish panel that is drilled, not the trunk lid. you would only have to paint the plastic panel. I don't know if you would use Bondo to fill the holes, though. there might be something different for plastic.

Oh god. I hate when people put incorrect emblems on their cars. I was next to this 2003ish 3-series and I pulled up next to him and he was bumpin, thinking he was the s@!%. I couldnt help but laugh. Anyways, the light turned green and he took off, I look at the back of his car and it has an M3 Logo as well as a DINAN emblem. Seeing as the car didn't have dual exhaust or any of the other M3 styling cues, I knew it wasn't an M3. Probably a 325i! Why pretend to have something you can't afford? Maybe I should put a Ferrari emblem on my Accord...

Dude, I was just kidding.... Plus, I know that hopefully you're kidding too about the ferrari emblem on a accord. BUT, don't you think someone is going to tell the difference between an Accord and a FERRARI !!!! IS350 and IS250 look the SAME, that's why I made the remark....
