Arrow Shaving Back Emblems

I am shaving my emblems. I took off the 350z and i am having it painted black pearl but i understand the nissan emblem has 2 holes behind it. does anyone have advice for taking the nissan emblem off?? or I could really use some picture if anyone has a pic of it with it off? so i could see the holes.

any pics would be great. even if it just shows ur black emblems

I had this done at the same place i got my tints done. I was going to just shave them off and live with that but the two holes looked not so great and too seal them up and get the whole trunk painted cost 600 bucks. So instead i got some black pearl emblems and placed it over the holes and it looks great. Just make sure you align it right the first time. If you are really interested pm and i'll take a picture and send it to you. GL

I have the letters and numbers off, but the logo still there. Looks much better.
The pic above with no logo looks dope as hell though. Nice and clean!!!!

my bodyshop filled in the holes and blended paint to match the hatch. No need to pain the entire hatch if your body shop has competent painters.
