Hey CL,
I removed my emblems on the back of my IS250 (The "Lexus" and "IS250" at the left and right bottom corners of the trunk), and there are four 3mm holes which I want to fill.
Having searched on this forum, the only non-permanent solution seemed to be bumper plugs. However, I went to Napa auto parts today and they didn't have any plugs that small. I also tried several other hardware/car shops, with the same results.
I am wondering if anyone here has some good ideas as to how I can solve this problem. I would strongly prefer a reversible solution (ex. bumper plugs) but I am open to non-reversible solutions as well, if need be. Thank you in advance!

User a holy puncher to get the right size (pretty small), then tweezers to set it in place after painting it with touch up paint. GL
@Reyo - I think there are 2 behind the Lexus badge

I used the liquid steel putty. I put it in the holes, sliced it flat with the trunk lid with a plastic razor blade. When it dried, I used a touch up pen to color it. Worked perfect.

I used clear silicone. When you fill it with silicone, make it concave so when you put touch up paint, its flush with the trunk. Can't even tell its there unless I get up close to about 6" then I can see it.
