Default Take off the emblem?

I've been contemplating whether or not to take off the Honda emblems are not, if I should get Rick's badge, or just leave em. I'd like to get Ricks badge but want to see how it looks without it first. Anyone know the process in how to take off the emblems and fill the holes? Saw a yellow S at the meet without em.

You can get small plastic plugs from Lowes and paint them using Honda touch up paint. They'll fit snugly in the holes left behind.

-Or- you have a body shop fill them and leave it badgelss

-or- you can get either the Honda black chrome or Rick's "S" emblems (which are like stickers) to cover the holes.

Ya if you want to roll badgeless you would have to get holes filled with fiberglass/bondo. Then have whole area repainted.

I do like the look of the front of the car shaved of the emblems (and the bumper plugs for the front plate.)




If you decide to shave the rear emblem and keyhole it would look something like this:

I'm also a fan of the shaved look. The S has such smooth lines that I think it really benefits from a shaved look more than most cars

It just looks so sleek. How much does it cost to get it filled and painted.

I had mine done at HQ Kustoms and looking at my old invoice, my trunk cost me $50, and AP1 bumper cover cost $30 for the material and the labor.

Paint wasn't apart of the cost because other things were getting painted, if I had to break it down, it was about $100 for paint for both 'shavings'.
