debadge Emblem "A" holes fix

For those , who took off the "A" acura emblem on the back of the trunk, How do u fix the hole problem.
I would like any inputs to fixing this without a fortune, ( i know I can go to a paint shop, have it filled and painted but ) $$$ dont wanna do that unless I have to. (last resort)

I have being trying to find any after market emblem that fill fit the holes but I do not want it to be an "A" or "H" emblem. Something different will be great as NOT to reveal any identity of the car from most unfamiliar ppls.

an exaple of such will be :

uhm...bondo it and repaint...that's the cleanest way to do it, if you want a full debadge. but it costs $$

You dont have to get somthing that fits the holes, just to cover them.

I know this might be a little rice but have you looked at the mungen symbol its just a chinese symbol kinda cool

"A" holes are a big problem, especially if you don't want to pay to have your trunk repainted.

The above pic probably is a stick on

why dont you take a little bit of bondo with your finger and a wet cloth fill the hole yourself wipe of the excess and touch up paint wont look perfect but if you do it right it may look really good

if that doesnt work then there no harm done and you can go to a body shop still

if you trust yourself, save money!! touchup paint. if you want it flawless go to a bodyshop, but be warned...they charge up the butt. i know a couple places that charge anywehere from 150-250 for those types of services. SInce they bondo it, resand it down, then they paint a good chunk of the trunk again

emm.... DO I TRUST MYSELF ????
we will see. maybe I will just put the "A" back there upside down off course as a temporary fix, till i can get enuff $$ in the 200 $ range to fix up two tiny holes

thats a lot for 2 tiny holes.........

and what type of glue or gum do u guys use when putting the emblems back on the car ??? ( i.e pls dont say super glue) becos i know that will fk up the paint if u try to remove that.

Check out if those S2000 "S" badges fit. I toyed with that idea awhile back. It makes sense if you have a Type S.

The shop where I got my Integra done actually welded all the holes so I never have to worry about bondo and cracking but still set be back $200 with paint... Just picked up a 2g CL last week and this forum is great! Way better than Honda Tech

I was thinking of putting on those bmw badge over it and then put on a custom sticker over that badge.

What about putting the type S from the new tl s over it. its big enough to cover the "A holes" and you can just tape it with the adhesive that it comes with??

^ Sounds cool but to me it would seem a bit out of place. It is a square-ish design and I don't think I'd like it sitting in the middle of my trunk
