De-badging the xD

De-badging the xD
So, taking the badges off was actually a LOT easier than I thought. Soapy water, goo-gone, a heat gun and 5 minutes later; no badge no goo.
The xd logo was perfect. Looks like it never existed. But when I de badged the scion logo off my trunk I ran into a problem. -.- I was unaware that the emblem has 2 pins that slip onto 2 sockets on the trunk. I put it back on and heated it back up. But I want it off.
I tried looking up info but it couldnt find anything. What is the best thing to do to get rid of this gray tone. It's not that I don't want it. It just doesn't look right with my color scheme. Do I just paint it the oem car color like ricer civics do?
Another route is the ist emblems? Are they universal as far as sliding into those pins to cover the trunk holes?
Who's delt with de badging and can give advice? :p

I have a RS 2.0
I debadged my 09 xD RS 2.0 and replaced the Scion Emblems with black emblems that i found on Ebay.. I warn you, the front has the 2 pin holes as well... Either you go IST, Toyota, or black Scion logos

Certainly I warn you the Logo is too small for the front, you're on your own for that one, unless you paint it but i got links for 2 and 1 black logos, they look sharp.

I actually love the black with red lettering. I also stumbled upon a red carbon fiber filler for those decals. Pricing but it looks sick. Do you think if I debadged the front I could just use trunk sized ones and safely 3m over the pin holes? You said you had issues with the front so I figured you might have done this. I just don't wantthe holes to show or water to get inside the hood frame.

Can DerekMansur or someone clarify the rear emblem placement: is it a simple peel and stick? looking at this:
