Mounting holes where NISSAN hamburger was after debadging?! HELP!

So I am in the process of debadging the Max, and when I took the 'NISSAN' hamburger off, there are two holes left in the trunk for mounting?! WTF?!

Has anyone else run into this? What did you do?

Bondo and paint. Or switch to a smaller badge like soonerfan did.

Thanks for the replies, fellas...I appreciate it!

Ok, now once I add the bonda I would imagine that I then sand it, prime, then paint?

Would body filler work? And what kind of paints/primer should I use?

If you put the emblem back on, the holes will be filled in.

noo dont sand or prime anything...just put a little bit of bondo in each hole and kinda flatten it down with a credit card on the outside..and then just touch up paint it with a little brush..just make sure the bondo doesnt get all over the paint
