There will be no holes behind those Badges. Dental Floss and a Blow Dryer will do the trick.

EDIT: See what you can achieve when you do a Search. Heres the full list of debadging, by simply searching:

YOu would have to go to a shop to get that done. It will involve cutting out the lock and filling the hole and repainting. This usally is'nt a huge problem, BUT..... you would also have to get a pop-lock system, which will run you a good mount of money. I believe i am right about this....you would be better off saving up some money and get all the doors to poplock, now that is hott .

Moulding would have to be done to fill the gap behind the keyhole. Then a little sanding to match the surface. Then a repaint. I'd take it to the shop. No one has brought up taking off the keyhole, just the badging.

in the long run i fully intend on doing the whole poplock thing. that would be really sweet and i have a friend who knows how to do it all he has it on his turbo si. but i dont think you would need it for the trunk cause there is the the latch right next to the door on the inside that can open the trunk... but thanks for the feedback now ill have to go to either the dealership to see if they will replace my key lock because it is getting rusted and isnt looking nice or go to a shop and get it cut out and filled...

the bad thing with shaving the doors is when the battery doesnt work< because you drain it with your system, you will be locked out! the silenoids dont work with out juice!!!

about the key hole, you can go to autoloc.com and get a trunk release system for 50+ dollars and you will have to weld or have the shop weld a piece of sheet metal then gring it out, lil bondo,prime and paint! about 250-300!!! good luck!

look on any car that correctly shaved the doors and you will find a back up type button that will open the doors. www.autoloc.com

yeah poppers.. remember alarms just make noise, < that doesn't stop any one from not stealing your car!! why not just put a back up and get your car stolen.. lol

I have shaved about over 14 pairs of doors and I don't recommend it unless you have a sedan and only shave 2 doors!!!

i'm thinking about cutting my trunk release line, so you have to use a key to open my trunk even if you get inside.
