so i was cleaning up my car today, and i was deciding i should debadge off my lexus and the is 250 part of my car. and suddenly as i was flossing my lexus part of i notice there was a little stud that pierces into the car a bit. how do i fix that problem?

 

you have to fill them in with something and touch it up. looks much better with out them IMO.

 

Fill it or put it back

 

anything to recommend to use to fill it???? thinking of going this route as well...... just putting the L logo at the back seems to be a nicer thing to do and something that not everyone does...

 

does a little piece of bondo and lexus touch up paint work if you're not willing to get it done at a shop?

 

Make sure you do something about the holes before you wash your car. They actually lead to the inside liner of the trunk and there are electronic components back there you don't want to F up and get denied a warranty claim

 

fill it up and paint it
it looks so much better without it for sure ~!

 

 

ahhhh thank you guys!! this really helped!

 

I want to do it too, but GFM is a lousy paint :P

 

That's what I'm talking about... Haha Thanks for the pic suicidesam!

 

Don't worry, the holes don't lead to the inside of the trunk. As a matter of fact, the panel that the emblems are attached to isn't even the trunk lid, it's a separate plastic panel that's attached to the trunk lid. The holes go through the plastic panel but not through the sheet metal of the trunk lid. Water sprayed into the emblem holes will simply drain on the back side of the plastic panel, outside of the trunk.

 

fill them in. Or to avoid touching up the car have you thought about painting your emblems ?

 

Of course I’m not a fan of debadging, but it doesn’t seem to be worth the trouble. Besides, you’ll give the impression of an embarrassed 250 owner trying to make others think it’s a 350.

 

if you want to debadge it, expect to spend some $$$
