I have removed the rear badge, and it came off well, with no problems, but now I have two holes in my trunk. Those of you who have fixed this, what did you use?

I replaced mine with GodsHead badges, fills in the holes real nice. :up:

It's lame, but this sorta does the trick . . .

I used two small "Christmas tree" type black plastic fasteners that I found at Pep Boys' "help" section. They're about 5mm in diameter and cover up the holes fairly well. They weren't quite wide enough to stay put--I used some tape wrapped around the stem to increase the diameter slightly so that they would seat a bit more securely.

Body shop quoted $500 to fill/paint.

You wouldn't happen to have a picture of how it looks do you? I don't have the spoiler to help cover the area, and I do want it to look somewhat ok, just not like those imports with two holes where the Badge was.

Nevermind, you have a good shot of it. I'll have to look at the plugs and see how they look in person.

That's not what we hear...:lol:;)


Later on on Monday we're walking through Caesar's Palace Casino and there's a whole section roped off, some B.S. about filming in progress. So we're walking, we're walking and I'm thinkin' it's the World Poker Tour or a PSA about gamblin'( :rolleyes: ) and I'm lookin' but not seein' any celebs(I don't get starstruck unless it's Sandra Bullock)and all of sudden I see this guy half-asleep on a chair and it's...........

NBCShooter! now there's a celeb! :bows:

So I start waving at him and he's half-asleep and he starts looking at me like I'm insane so I grab the nearest looker and ask her to take my business card over to him(he's cordoned off 'cause he's a celeb). He's lookin' my card over with a puzzled look on his face and all of a sudden he realizes who I am. Priceless!

This is what I used to cover the holes.

Did the same with mine. The Ford 100 Anniversary fits/looks better with the spoiler cutout. IMHO

Here's what I did. It's the emblem off of the driver's tail light from an '03 Sable. Covers the holes just fine. It'll look even better when I add the rear spoiler.
