Took off emblems
I just took off my "lexus" and "is250"emblems today and i was thinking of paying around 300 dollars to get rid of the holes, but after i took out the emblems today, i noticed how small the holes were. So i was wondering if there were anybody else here that took off their emblems and just left their holes. thx

I would at least place some small vinyl over the holes and use a tiny amount of touch-up paint. Moisture has a way to get into the smallest of openings and you do not want to open the door to any negative impact. Remember, the "Smart Key Module" and factory amp is in the trunk.

I like shaved emblems, it keeps people lookin and trying to figure out what kind of car it is or model i should say. I shaved the emblems off my 2004 Camry, and just added a VVT-i emblem on the bottom right of the trunk...

lol i got weatherproof tape and cut it really small and touch painted it. Why would you pay 250-300 bux to fill those tiny holes up. Rather buy an intake, HIDS, etc.
Heres how mine looks after i taped and touch painted. You can see the little tape on the right side.

Hey Bullskim, would you get some pics of these holes? I am wondering just how big they really are. I don't know how tape and touch up paint would look on Starfire Pearl..... I'm afraid it would look half-***. If you don't care though take some pics of the holes.

[QUOTE=sincityIS;3486840]Don't go ghetto and leave the holes. Either put the emblems back on or fill them. I filled them and as you can see it looks great. I paid $250.
I really like the look of this. The smoked tails really compliment your car nicely!!!

i took mine emblems off and I left the hole, but it does look kind of ugly up close
but still how is going to go up to your car and inspected it and see if anything is wrong with it.
