Ok, so i want to take off the stock toyota badge off my front bumper and replace it with a shiny dragon emblem (not a pokemon referrence). The problem is that the holes in the bumper for the emblem are vertically aligned and rather spaced out and the pegs for my emblem are horizontally aligned and fairly narrow. Has anyone done something like this or know how to get around this hole problem. Any ghetto rigs that work. Don't really wanna bondo and repaint the whole bumper just for one little hole.

"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |

There was a thread on this a few pages back. The dragon emblem is too small to fit the toyota spot. Someone had taken it and attached it to their grill.
If you really want it centered up, fill the holes redrill the new ones and have it spot sprayed. -------------------- |

Yeah, I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but looks like I'm repainting the bumper.
