Default Fixing Holes After Rear Emblem Removal?

So I've noticed that a lot of you guys out there have removed the rear emblems ("350Z" & "Nissan") from your Z. I know all about how to safely remove these and that there are two holes behind the "Nissan" emblem.

My question for all you guys who have removed the "Nissan" emblem how did you go about fixing the two holes that are left behind???

I'm sorry if this has been covered, I've searched but wasn't able to find anything specific to my question. All information and advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks everybody!

A little sanding, some fiberglass bondo, some more sanding, Reg. bondo, some more sanding, primer, and then paint it.

I was afraid that might be the case.

I say "afraid" because that sounds like quite an expensive job for a bodyshop to perform.

Hmmm, maybe you have a special Z because every single person I've asked and every single thread I've read says the rear "Nissan" emblem has 2 holes behind it. Are you sure you're not thinking of the rear "350Z" emblem?

100% possitive ,, "350z" and "nissan" didnt have holes in the rear ,, nissan in the front had two holes ,,

maybe theres a diffrent between 350z here and in america ,,

btw i also removed the rear wiper , and i closed the hole with fiberglass ,, sanding and painted it ,, took me 30 minutes and it looks as if my car didnt come with a wiper

It took you 30 minutes to remove the wiper assembly, apply fiberglass and let it cure, sand it and paint it? hmm, I'd like to see pics of the end result...
