      13) Time for Bondo. Make sure you wear gloves and have your material ready to go

      14) Lay the Bondo. It's going to goo everywhere. Try and keep that a minimum and work quickly

      15) Use the wax paper trick and cover the surface. This will smooth it out while it is drying.

      16) This is what it looks after drying. Do both sides.

      17) Use a Dremel tool to knock down the rough bits.

      1 Followup with sandpaper. This will require several iterations of Bondo and sanding to get it just right.

      19) This is what it looks like with the front badge gone. To me, this looks way better.
