No, I dont have holes. I agree not a good idea and definetly not a good look.
My trunk (bootlid, for the guy asking) had all the Toyota and Celsior badges removed all the holes filled and sprayed again. Nice Clean Shaved look, atm I have a Lexus and a LS400 badge on the back no "L" but prefer the totaly shaved look so will go back to it, but here is a pic of how it looks at the moment. Also chucked in a pic of my two top of the range CF pack Celsiors together, Ones stock as a rock the other nice and modded.

The LS400, they went overboard with the registration holes. What ticks me is they didn't use them on all their other cars. The day I brought ours home, I was gonna remove them until I saw the swiss cheese trunk lid.
Not finding a body shop that was confident in paint matching, it has been one mod I've not done. ![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Most the shops want to feather it around the rear quarter and up through the C-pillars and roof. That's nearly painting 1/3 the car...fer-git-it! Then you have nice fresh paint back there and 2/3'rds is the old stuff.
There is a company that makes paintable plugs.
BTW...the lid has drain holes but I wouldn't want a regular shower for it since it does introduce moisture. Long term it may rust.
