All they do is bondo over ther holes that the emblems are in, and spray it to match your car, should be able to get it done for $100-150 bucks.

always check work of a body show when looking into them shaving things, welding is the right way but done wrong can screw it up, welding=heat=warping metal, but if all your shaving it the wholes it shouldnt be that bad. make sure with their work that you cant see the outline after its done

i JUST talked to a professional painter and body work guy and he said the back is easy just weld but the front is iffy. he said that since its plastic, about 6 months later you will see a faint impression where the holes were because it sinks in from the body flexing etc. but its not really noticable so thats ok i guess. i work with him and he is giving me a deal and said 80 bucks for the labor + whatever the supplies cost. so find a place with cheap labor and you will be getting it done for around 170 bucks
