How do I shave this Integra LS emblem so I can place an Integra xSI decal in it's place?

But how do I cover up the holes so they're not visible under the xsi decal?

With the new decal or not at all

Why would you put an Integra xSi emblem? It's like putting a type r sticker on an LS...

Just for JDM looks. I'm swapping the acura emblems for Honda emblems too.

You have to weld them shut, bondo, smooth, paint. Then decal. No other way to do it without half assing it. Do u even have anything from an xsi? Or jdm at all for that matter..?

Yeah, you have to weld, straight bondo will crack eventually from opening and closing the deck lid. It's a lot of trouble for a sticker that doesn't really apply, imo. That being the nice way of me saying

Yea...I didn't think there would be that much work involved. I think I'll just change the emblems.

cheap easy way is to sand, bondo, primer paint...

correct way is to grind down arounf the holes, tac weld em shut grind the welds, then sand em smooth go over the spots with filler, then primer, paint & clear coat the area & apply your decal.

***edit* patrick already said all this LOL...

Moisture will also speed up the cracking process.

OP you should just swap the Acura emblems out for Honda ones, if anything..
Don't make the same mistake I did tho and buy the UKDM emblem. Doesn't cover the holes, $40 down the drain haha.
