Just as the title states.
Are there little push pin pieces I can fill the holes with where Lexus used to be?

I don't want to pay to have it filled and my trunk repainted.

Any ideas? If I got those push pin things I could put touch up paint on them to match my car after and I don't think it would look too bad at all for a daily driver.

Thank you

Snook, I suggest you search this forum for the keyword 'debadge' and 'remove emblem' etc

Thanks, that does not answer my question though

It was, has anyone used something like push pins that can go in each hole and cover it?

So you're looking for something like bumperplugs? Couple of ideas here

I think it'd be less visible to fill it yourself with bondo or something similar and then use touch up paint if you could do it cleanly without messing up the area around the hole.

I used 2 inch wide striping tape as close to color match as possible, If I had the money Id get them filled and match painted.

I tried something like this except with plastic metal. It's difficult because what ends up happening is the substance won't stick too well to that small of a surface area (the ring around the hole). You could try it, just make sure you rough up those edges really well. It's a shame that you can't get to the holes through the inside of the trunk, that would probably be the best way to seal it up.


Other than that, not sure what you are referring to by "push pins." Maybe you were thinking of bumper plugs.. but if you made something like that for emblem holes it might look funky.

If you cut out dime sized circles just to cover the holes, people ask if they're bullet holes. I cut rectangles long enough to cover the group of holes. I like it better than the badges.

Just leave them on unless you get it bondo'd and repainted

why not just fill them with resin or some composite stuff. hell even that hot glue. inject it, use touch up paint to cover it over and youre all set. of course, do eventually get it professionally filled and repainted once you got the money

Considering that there are many holes, would you want a bunch of touch up dots on the rear assuming that you fill it with whatever it is?

I don't like emblems but I would rather have that than a bunch of bumpy dots

word. i mean, i'm a firm believer in removing emblems, but not if its gonna leave ugly holes that dont get professionally filled-in/smoothed/painted.

anything else is ricey..

looks stupid if you don't have them filled in and painted.. there are sooo many holes.


i rocked mine until my car was painted, then i had them shaved.
