Default Front emblem removal

I took the rear emblem off and really like the clean look. I want to remove the front one as well. The problem is the two holes. Without having any bodywork done, is there an option?

Not really, the only thing I can think of is to get some tiny black push pins in place of the holes until you have them filled in.

I've seen where someone cut the circle off the front emblem and it looked good with just the flags. You might try that until you can come up with an idea for filling in the two holes.

I liked the clean look without the emblems too. The two mounting holes on the front messed up that idea. So made a slight adjustment with a single edge razorblade. It cleaned up the front emblem so that it wasn't so busy looking and also made it easier when polishing the front.

Default Same idea , same problem

Yah , what to do with those two emblem holes. I wanted to make the front emblem less visable I used an '03 silver emblem that matched the QS color of my Z06. 50% +/- less visable
