I was going to debadge my new 2013 f150 when I remembered the older style badges had pins on them leaving a hole in the fender, is that true? Same with the one on the tailgate I assume, I took off the flex fuel and it was fine and the XTR decal.

So if I where to take off the f150 on the fenders and the tailgate how could I cover up the holes?

The only way to cover the holes would be with different emblems, decals or go to the extreme and have a body shop fill the holes (weld), do the body work and repaint
As a side note I have removed emblems for guys, color matched them to their vehicle (painted them) and put them back on. Gives it a nice custom touch and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb if you don't care for the "chrome" emblem look

I plasti dipped mine and I think they look great that way. Here a pic of what they look like. I dont have a closer one right now but you can see what a difference it makes.

I haven't done mine yet, but from what I've seen, squishy vinyl badges just peel right off = no pins.

Thankfully the dealer tag on mine is this way, so it should be easy to remove.
