Default HOLES EVERYWHERE!! HELP!!!!

I have fully de-badged my GSR i have 2 small holes in the front, 2 HUGE holes in the back right above the trunk release and 2 small holes on the top left side of the trunk (where the vtec badge was).

My question is... Is there any way i can get rid of these holes with out re-painting the trunk/hood ect.??

Also, can these holes cause any internal damage to my car?? ex. (water getting in and messing up the wires and stuff.)

Any info/comments/suggestions are welcomed.

If you plan on keep the badges off (shaved) you'll need to have the
holes filled in. Auto body shops can do that, cost isn't something I'd
be sure about. I wouldn't worry about rain shorting wires but what
would worry me is the chance at rust forming from rain / moisture
sitting around the interior of the holes..I'd get some other opinions.

run a search, there are plenty of threads about plugging the spoiler holes. If your so worried about the emblem holes, pu the emblems back on and don't worry about it. or buy a set of used ones if you got yours stolen
You'll probably end up making the car looks worse trying to plug emblem holes.

Put your badges back in until you have enough money to get the holes filled in by a body shop.

Bondo isn't perferred, but it'll work.

Then just buy some spray touch up paint and spray clear coat and go nuts. You can find spray touch up paint at any local auto paint store. Or go to http://www.paintscratch.com
