Default Rear Emblems?

I took off the 2 side emblems today but does the center "L" emblem have any prongs on the backside? I don't want to drive around with a couple holes in my trunk

I used goo-gone and dental floss... I had gold emblems and I couldn't stand looking at them so I ordered chrome ones... now that I see the rear without any I don't even want to put them on

Just take your time with the taillights. Use a flathead screwdriver and rotate it as opposed to prying at the plastic and potentially chipping it. The best corner to start at would be the bottom left if it's the passenger light, and the bottom right if it's the driver light.

I originally took my "L" off, but started to feel like a Corolla. So i painted it flat black and put it back on, look great. My car is crytal, yours is black, in your case, looks awesome. Id hate gold.

Yes Black Pearl looks great also. I just didnt want to spend the money. The Flat/Satin Blakc i used was a do it yourself and looks great. Goes well with my black roof/tint/wheels and so forth

I havent posted pics of my car in SOOOOOOOOOOOO long. Ive done a lot to it since my last posting. Ive just been so busy with my new and upcoming car dealership business.
