I meant - rs/ss - Yes that is the glazing putty we used to use. The red color works great.
The other colors have different drying times.. Red should take care of what you are wanting to do..
I havent looked at pulling off my emblems, so I dont really know how big the holes are..
Good luck with this.

I took my emblems off today with the hairdryer + Fishing line. Came off easily.

The only thing is that there is still a "halo" of the word LEXUS and IS250. Tried some water and a rag, got fainter, but its still there(just barely). Im sure it will go away after a bit.

Also, the holes are not noticeable unless you are close up, so I may just leave it as it is ...

Plug the holes with something dude, unless you want a rustbucket own the road.

For the residual film, I'd attack it with some Goo Gone and several applications of a good wax.

Well done Giantsfan. I think that looks great. I hear the holes don't actualy go through to the trunk but it's better to fill them anyway.

Have you concidered doing a red out to your tail lights. The yellow portion of the lens breaks up the appearance a little.

Thanks! Yeah ... I checked the holes... they only go through the plastic part, not into the actual trunk.

I thought about red-outs, but im not sure wether to do it or not lol.
