Default Emblem holes in rear trunk lid

Hey guys, I've removed the Nissan badge on the rear trunk lid and I was wondering what you guys did to cover the 2 holes? Thanks a lot

You don't have to repaint the entire hatch. You can fill the holes and have your bodyshop blend. That's what my shop did and it looks perfect.

^ that would look ghetto. It needs to be blended. Don't ruin your hatch if you don't know what you are doing. Get it professionally done (if you have no experience), or live with an emblem. :2cents:

I dont know about the Z emblem from the 350Z that was on the back, but I have a Z emblem that is big enough to cover it up. it may have come off the rear strut bar cover or something.

someone with a old emblem who could measure the distance between the two nipples on the back of the emblem? that would help!

edit: thickness of the nipples would help to...
