Question about shaving emblems

How do you do it? I originally thought that they were glued on but after i took half of it off i saw that it was attached by little sticks inserted into holes that are in the car.

Does anyone have all their emblems shaved out there?
and if so can you tell me how you did it

Fill in the holes w/ metal or a very hard filler material such as fiberall (just like fiberglass just really really thick and gets hard as a rock) and use finishing puddy to finish it off. Sand er down and paint it,buff it, rock and roll. I would suggest having a professional body shop that knows about custom body work to do it unless of course you are schooled in body work.

well you could try the mazda dealership, but i don't know if they do stuff like that. try them out and see and if not go to a regular bodyshop that does that type of work. One that uses metal instead of bondo.
