How to patch up holes after removing back emblem

NuocCam · 02-06-2009, 08:52 PM

I debadged the Civic and the back Honda Emblem, but the Honda Emblem left behind two holes for me.
I went to the dealership and they told me to buy a new emblem.
Went to Pep Boys and gave me all kinds of **** that added up to 50 dollars.

What makes this worse I'm new =P

Any advice? I tried searching, but there were too many Threads @@

get a JDM emblem or bring it to a professional. should be somewhere around 350 to cover up those holes completely. other then that get the matching plugs but it'll still be 2 bump popping out.

Weld it...

Find a good body shop to fill out the holes. In the meantime, can you put the H back in?

I have those pins in the holes with tape to hold it down

Your only options are to run plugs, or take it to a body shop.

You might as well get a cf trunk and paint to body match, that's what im doing, you save weight and hassle

How much is the average cf trunk for a sedan cost?

thanks all

twin.si.06 · 02-13-2009, 12:26 AM

yes you will have to cough up a bit of money...a cf trunk is a little more than $50

Mitchyy · 02-13-2009, 12:30 AM

Ace hardware..They are like rubber bumper plugs I believe..I did this when i took the spoiler off my si. Il be getting the trunk all welded up this summer or skip the bullsh!t and buying a cf one. Havent decided yet. Hope this helps!

i took off my jdm h for the back and made my whole trunk clean, what i did was i used 3m tape to cover the hole from the inside and then i just went to honda and bought touch up paint and painted over it. from far you cant even tell that there were holes there

I bought plugs to do a spoiler removal on my 2002. Got them at Advance Discount Auto for $1.49

Also bought some adhesive sealant for $5.79 and white spray paint (for the plugs) for $5.49. Sure, I'm gonna have 4 bumps on the trunk but, it's better to have spent $13.62 for a car that's already beat to hell (see: door dings) than to spend 300+ on fixing the trunk or worse, 500+ on a CF trunk. If I get a CF trunk, it'll be for the FG AFTER a CF hood.

anyways, good luck.
