Default Spoiler/emblem removal.

Okay guys, I'm planning to do all the body work myself, and eventually paint my Prelude myself.
So I was wondering, what I can plug my emblems and the five holes left from the spoiler in?
I've heard that bond bubbles up with moisture, and I don't want there to be a couple of raised up body parts where the holes used to be.
Some advice?
The paint is faded, so I don't mind if I'll have white spots where the holes were, just want them filled in.
Thanks in advance.

so do you want them shaved? if so weld up the holes. do like 1 tack at a time so you dont get warpege. then grind it down to a smother surface. I then put a work light behind it, or use compressed air to blow behind it to find any holes you missed. Use filler to make evreything perfect and to fill the big sratches and gouges from the grinder.

they make a special glue type addhesion for plastic you can use that and then use some glaze over it. i don't know if id recomend just using glaze to fill it though i've never tried it.
