If you just leave your holes like I did all you would need is double-sided tape (the red/grey stuff - not the white foamy stuff)

No. Water won't enter the trunk because the holes are not drilled into the trunk. They're drilled into the body colored plastic panel that's *attached* to the trunk. No worries.

But water could seep into the gap between right?

It's unlikely. The panel is held in place by 3 nuts and 5 clips. The panel itself is pretty well sealed to the trunk lid. Water will get between the panel and the deck lid but that's not a big deal. It gets wet behind there anyway when you wash the car or it rains. Water will not leak into the trunk. [/quote]

I was thinking of debadging my 350 as well, just for the clean look. Do you notice a lot more people trying to street race with you after debadging?

There are some places online that make custom and very nice badges with a million different fonts to pick from. I've been thinking of having my last name or something. It's not so expensive either.
