Hey everyone,
so I tried popping the front Hamburger nissan emblem of my 92 HB. Not only was there a nasty hole (not too bad a surprise, considering there was a bolt beneath the emblem)...however, the bumper is also molded with the "imprint" of the hamburger! When people remove this emblem, are you just stuck with this imprint (it goes in probably 1/16th of an inch) of the hamburger? Is it something I'll have to have dealt with by a body shop? Thanks for any help!:bite:

take the bumper off, lay a fiberglass patch on the bottom, then fill the hole and impression with kitty hair (not bondo, its too deep and the bumper is too flexible, it will crack).

What did you take the emblem off with? You can buy cheap kits to remove emblems that come with a filler.

Where can I find these kits? That sounds like the best plan for me.

It probably will eventually... but oh well...
