Taking the Badges off gives a really "Clean" look to the car, although like many visual mods to a car, its all a matter of opinion, i have all the badges off of my car, and should be filling the holes this week, with a piece of Tin and some Bondo, then when i Paint my car, it will look like there was nothing there to begin with.

For god sake if you are going to shave the 'H' emblem off, doing it the "right" way it is going to require a WELDER! The bondo trick is the amateur way of doing it and is at the best a temporary way to fill these holes. The body filler will eventually crack out and ruin a otherwise good paint job, that is if you acutally get the area painted! If your going to do it, do it once the "RIGHT" way! Weld the holes up, grind them smooth, and then put the filler on! A little primer and paint, and presto its done and should look good for years.

Well, you dont "Need" a welder, you can also use that Permanent "Body Adhesive" with a peice of steel, I have had body shops reccomend it to me to put repair panels on rather then welding, they say its totally permanent, and stronger then welding, so if you dont have a welder (like most) you can do it other ways that are just as efective and not "wrong" if you will.
