...those things on the badges are called "pegs."

If its a "J" vin 95 (made in Japan) it has titties!

If Kentucky built is doesn't, except for the Sombrero in the Center.

well that figures cause its built in japan. So i guess i will have to put them back on .

if you're going to have it repainted... why not just have the "tittie holes" filled?

sorry for the thread jack, but would you just do it with bondo?

[4Cyl'erThriller]

Yeah thats how I did mine. You might want to put something back there to stop the bondo from just oozing out tho. Like a piece of paper or cardboard or something. My 93 non j vin had nipple holes for all three symbols. Shaved that ass tho. Looks super clean now.

The holes probley need to be welded up and then bondoed if you want it to last a life time? and this is my wifes car so time will be precious. and i thought about putn the emblems back on to keep it stock looking. won't be long it will be antique tag time LOL

The right way is to weld them as bondo will shrink and form sink holes. Welding causes rust if not done properly and bondo a sink hole over time. Pick one! :/

My 95 has never been wrecked, has all the orginal panel stickers and has never been painted but I wanted the emblems off. I used some two part epoxy having a "no shrink" clause as part of the formula. I filled the holes and scuffed them ever so slightly, then added touch up paint. Its been there for four years and is now begining to shrink ever so slightly. No show car - just a driver.

Also - Mines a japan car and its full of holes but NONE - of the emblems had "outies" to poke in the "innies', just double sided tape.

So why the holes? DORKS!

FYI: replacement parts (rear deck) likley don't have holes unless the repair included someone drilling them for the emblems.
