Default Debadging an AWD IS250

Are there are holes behind the AWD badge like there is for the "IS250" emblem?

I would never debadge the AWD for a few reasons:

1. AWD cost more than standard 250

2. Without the badge, no one can tell its an AWD beside the driver foot well hump

3. AWD is an excuse why your car rides higher lol

Holes are relatively small and are about 3 or 4 inches apart. I've been rocking w/o anything filling them for a couple weeks. I'm probably going to have a body shop fill and paint.

And they are correct, there are no holes behind the AWD.

One could tell by looking at the front since it's sitting higher than the rears, assuming it's stock.

Why would you wanna take the "awd' off? "AWD IS250" is much better imo
