I removed mine, and yes there are 2 holes, but I replaced the NISSAN Badge with a "Z" badge that I purchased from Z Toys for a few bucks. I didn't plan on this originally, but when I saw the holes I either had to plug them (too expensive) or cover them up again!

I then replace the front NISSAN badge the same way.

I did the same thing joentown did. The big Z emblem on the back will cover the 2 holes. Here is another link:

stick some earplugs in them and paint them with touch up paint. you may have to customize the plugs a little.

Don't buy cheap replacements, they will discolor in very short order. Guy in our club got a Fairlady badge from Courtesy a few years back and even that turned a pimping shade of gold after a year or less. Front bumper has no holes but does have that indentation - probably a bit more work to fill that in although I have seen many cars that have done it.

I just pulled my invoice. Turns out I bought 2 "Z" badges from Performance Nissan for $72.00 on October 4, 2004.

I trust you can get them for about half that price if you search a little!
