Holes! The Prius badge and the HSD badge each have two pins. Any ideas as to what I should do?

Really all you can do is have a bodyshop fill in the pin-holes and respray that panel.

Personally? I'd put the emblems back on before I did that...

Well, by debadging it I was trying for more of a stealth look...

I wonder how it would look if I were to paint that panel a nice glossy black? I think it would kind of blend in with the lower glass of the hatch.

Any more suggestions?

Not a bad idea while you're getting the badge holes filled. Personally, I'd remove the big Toyota logo, too!

That's too bad.

I think that on all model years of the Gen II Prius, the rear hatch badges were stuck-on with 3M auto foam tape. And for some model years of the Gen II Prius, the side badges were stuck-on too (in the other years they used pins).

I think that for the Gen II Prius, it looked good without badges. See, e.g., darelldd's:

Were there any holes under the 'HYBRID' plastics on the sides?

IMHO, why paint over such an awesome color? Personally, I'd put them back.

I was rather surprised to not see a "Toyota" emblem, but rather just the logo in the center.

Your only option is to have them filled, painted, sanded, blended by a professional body shop... or put the emblems back on. This could become a very $$$ modification.
