i think the only way to cover the holes good is to cover them and repaint the whole hatch. well i did that before i painted the car.

well, im about to get my hatch painted and my hood and front bumper, and i plan on pulling the toyota emblem off the front too..

I'll have to take a pic to post what I did
I debadged it then desided to put the Toyota emblem back on an put the celica dragon below the key hole

So still no good ideas? Lol. I'm in need of this help too. Removing the back toyota logo emblem has made holes that water seeps through everytime I wash my car. It seeps all the way down to where the spare tire is and it sits there until it evaporates. I'm scared it might rust it out overtime and it'll create holes.

Exactly why I felt like I needed to cover mine with at least something for now. Especially since those holes go directly into the hatch and with CO being so bipolar with it's weather I didn't want those plastic panels to have any potential to start warping and/or breaking!

Edit: I went to reply with an idea that I had but got sidetracked and didn't even put my idea..
But yeah, I had an idea for a semi-permanent solution that I was too lazy to do, resulting in me sticking that tiny Toyota emblem back on over the holes. Either way, I was thinking if you took those panels on the hatch out and put some duct tape or even masking tape on the back of the holes, you could then fill them from the exterior of the car with something like silicone that would provide a waterproof seal if you do it right. The tape is just to have the silicone set flush across the holes without it just dripping! But that's just one idea, I guess! Any more?

Man, that looks great! That's what I want to do eventually unless I can find an emblem like the one smkr3w is working on.

Also, I'm pretty sure that I posted a picture of your car on my tumblr before!
