did u take it to the shop or diy...if u did take it to the shop...how much was just o fill a couple of holes?
took it to a shop. Not sure how much it was for just filling the holes. i know there were 7 of them. At the same time they did that, they repainted all of my fender and my hood as well.

sorry.....my guess is around 70-100 USD for filling the wholes and repainting the trunk lid.

hey i took off all my emblems too and i had holes behind LE emblem also i just ended putting TRD emblem on top of it. but i have a 96 and i took off that CAMRY emblem also that is in between the tail lights i ended up getting those plugged and painted. it cost me around $70 US and i took off the Toyota Logo also and there were holes behind that but i put a BLUE toyota Emblem in it's place. It looks real nice. I've got alot of compliments

i have a 1995 Camry LE and i was wondering if anyone happened to know what emblems had holes and which ones didnt..thanks
i actually took a chance. its seem to be random if they have holes or not. try it out. there always elmer glue if you want to stick it back on. :lol: j/p use some ahesive instead.

hot sause 8.... follow up .... well its been a couple of days now and id have to say it didnt work out as id like .... filling the holes was simple, worked really good ... i used bondo's glazing and spot putty. The hard part was the touch up paint, i read up on chip repair sites and all and still didnt turn out good. The holes were not noticeable from a distance, say like a cars length away but i wasnt happy with it. ive replaced the emblems and all is good.

i think if my car was a different color it might of worked ... my camry is that pearly blue like smokey8890's i got the touch up paint from toyota but it was alittle darker that my paint. a dark color would probably work.

Yeah I had the same problem as you so I just painted my emblems to match my car. Eventually I am going to fork out the cash and have them filled and my whole trunk repainted.
