DeBadged my Trunk but Max sign/logo still shows a bit. Pictures!

Last night I was trolling the forum and was looking at the how-to's. Came across the "how-to" debadge and thought it was a great idea. Woke up this morning, got some fishing line, a blowdryer, and some 3m; and went at it. In a blaze of fishing line, applied heat, and some careful pulling I got it done in about 30 min's(including getting the gunk off.) Only thing wrong is that I can still see the outline. I gave her a wash and wax hoping that would help. Do I need to take it in and get it buffed out? I didn't do the front grill badge b/c you can see the molded plastic where it fit on. Anyone know what I could replace that front grill with completely? Here's some pictures of said completed project and a couple snapshots since my 2 previous weren't that great.

You can see the HUGE dent someone gave me in the Wal-Mart parking lot not too long ago. Anyone know if I could get that out? it's pretty deep but there aren't any creases or paint breaks.

Was there a certain wax you used? I'm using the Meguiars wax, didn't see Mother's wax so I chose the next best I knew of.

I could not use the links either. They were all bad.

To directly post a picture, you just use the following:
[*****IMG****]http://www..................[****/IMG****] **Just insert your link inbetween the to IMG's and it should work.

Take out all the stars!!!

I tried that and when I hit the preview button it just showed the link again, not the actual picture. I guess it can't upload from yahoo briefcases?
