emblem shaving question
So I found out the hard way that the Lexus word emblem has holes behind it, but does anyone know if the SC400 emblem has holes behind it? It looked like some of the earlier models that had it in the middle did not, but I have a 98, so it's on the upper right hand side. I have tried peeling it back a little, but no success in determining if it has mounting holes behind it. any help would be appreciated.

I wanted to shave the lexus name off too so it's just the "L" emblem in the middle, but i don't know what to do with the holes. I know some people have a body shop fill them up, but at this moment, that's more work than i want to do right now.

What?
MIG weld the holes shut, so they don't rust. This would take all of 5 minutes.
Then body filler over the sanded down weld, sand, prime and paint. That would take 15 minutes, It's easy.
If you guys would search and learn about welding, you could save serious cash.
Whatever you do, don't be a hack. This is a Lexus, treat it with some respect.

I'm pretty sure there are holes behind the SC300 and SC400 badges on the 92-96 bumpers.

I understand he has a '98, I just don't want to hear someone with a '92-96 bumper peeling off their badge thinking there aren't any holes behind them and bishing about this thread.
