NO BADGES lol, they look ugly, i took all my calais ones off they were all faded but the blade which is sitting next to my gear selector now 
and the 3.8L is sitting above the calais badge on the dash.. no badges outside, im thinkin of takin my boot lock off and smoothing that over... and just using the remote to open the boot or the button in the glove box.. would look diffrent

hey guys
With the boot lock how can i smooth it over. Do i use body filler and then just sand it down then paint over it or do i get a holden boot badge and stick it on. See i rather have no key lock there and no badge so what do i do??
Thanks Guys i would like u to add your 5 cents please.

take the boot lock off, make sure you've got an electronic boot pop first tho haha. take your lock out, fill it with bog, sand it to a nice even finish, take the time to make it right. lay some primer over, then respray it n give it a quick clear coat. if you have the time and equipment, respray the whole boot.

Hey Premmy186
I don't have the button on my key only the button in the glove box and i was just thinking of just putting body filler over the lock would that work. or would it stuff the lock and not be able to open the boot.??
Thanks
