Default Question about holes in the trunk...

So i was washing my car yesterday and I decided to de-badge the rear...
I should have read up and searched around on here first but oh well, too late.

I de-badged the "Lexus" and the "IS 250" to have a nice clean look and I didn't really like the crome look.

So now there are 4 little holes in the trunk and I was wondering if it will be ok if I just leave it be? Like is it going to rust overtime from water getting in it?
I looked under the trunk and there are holes for the water to leak out in case too much water does get in though from washing my car or something.

Hopefully there will be no problems in the future but just making sure.


Here are a few quick pictures I took today; sorry for the bad quality but it's cloudy and raining today.

you can't really notice the holes unless your standing up close..

I'm gonna go get a quote on how much it costs to fill but I think it's going to be pricey

As a temp fix you should get black circle vinyl and put it there.
