Size of the front burger is SO out of proportions. Car without it looks SO much cleaner.

In order for you to fill that area where the badge use to be, you have to bring it to a shop & have them fill it (bondo). Then you'll need to smooth it all out & repaint the entire bumper. So my recommendation is, if you're considering this mod, I would wait until you need to retouch your front bumper. Point is, it's not a cheap mod.

I have been to two body shops to have the the badge area filled and the bumper repainted. They are reluctant to do it because the front bumper is flexible (plastic) and body fillers are not. The hard fillers will eventually seperate from the plastic bumper. I am hoping there is a product available that will work well with the plastic bumper. I also intend to have the side emblems removed and those areas filled and painted.
Oh and with respect to debadgeing high end cars , I have removed badges from all my cars , from the Dodge minivan to the Ferrari 308.

I don't know what they filled it with. My bumber needed some minor fixes and repaint, so they debadget it at my request too. (Nissan bodyshop) They didn't make a big deal of it. Costed me $0 for debagging. It's been 2 years with no problems
