WTF!
Good thing you noticed that beforehand lol. You can buy color-matched plugs for the holes from the dealer I believe, or you can get them welded shut, then shaved and painted by a bodyshop.

Good Choice on the AG! On white - it should look very clean.
When I was doing my Infiniti and Nissan - I didn't want black like everyone else, and I ordered the grays and smoke from plastidip. I like the smoke because you can control the darkness of the color. With the AG - (what I did our xterra with) you are just stuck with that color.
Just finished my SGM badges with about 6 coats of the smoke


Did the front grill as well

@13IS250C When you apply this, make sure you do even passes on the sprays about 4" to 6" away from the emblems, get at least 4 coats on of the spray, this way it will adhere better and form a thicker layer to peel. I just finished doing mine in Black on my SFP IS250 and i found it was best between 4 and 5 coats to easily peel it off. For the small areas, i used a set of plastic needles used in sewing from the Sewing and Crafts section of Walmart - No Marking, no scratching , soft but effective plastic to remove the excess. Takes a lil bit of rubbing in the middle areas but it will bead up and you can just pull it out

Thx!
The best thing I found to remove the hard to get in areas was the really sharp wood tooth pics. They don't damage the paint - and they penetrate the plasti-dip well. Once you penetrate it, just roll/twist the toothpic and the plasti-dip starts to wrap around it (easily since it's wood) and gives you enough grip to pull the remaining area up.
