Nismo shaved front Nissan Emblem

the emblem is recessed, so when you remove it there are two holes, and a big dish recess. So I used urethane flexible filler to smooth in the hole, then did final smoothign with a little bondo and filler primer. Had to repaint the whole bumper when I was done. Kinda looks more like a catfish nurse shark of a car, it's hilarious.

Hopefully it won't crack and look like crap down the road. My High end Body shop was unwilling to do this for me when I had my front and rear bumpers replaced. Good luck, and report back in a year!....
