Default Front emblems holes

Ok i just took off the front H emblem off the CR. Now i have 2 holes there. I took it to a body shop and they said it would cost $300 to fill and shave off. I want a cleaner look with no emblems for my CR. I could also get another H embelm and paint it black. Is there another option to fill those holes that wont cost $300 any ideas thanks. I can post pic if any one need to see what i am talking about

To my knowledge there is not another option other than paying a shop or doing it yourself. It looks much better in the end though with no emblem, so it is worth it. I would see if you can find a shaved bumper on this site for sale.

Your only other option is to buy a new emblem from online, they make ones that just tape on.

You can get bumper plugs from H and A accessories or your local Honda dealer.

trunks should be cheaper, it's metal and doesn't have to be taken off and filled from the back so its a lot easier to do. just pull the emblem and weld the holes in then grind it down smooth. and paint. the front you have to pull the bumper and since it's flexible requires a special filler, then paint. if you fill the top holes might as well do the license plate ones too shouldn't cost much more.

Yea they said it like $75 a pint due to it being pearl. I'm going to get them to do the bumper and trunk and fix any minor scratches around the car with the left over paint. Might leave the front plate holes. I'm a marine so i move every 3years. And if i go back to CA i have to be able to put a front plate on
