Default Filling Corvette logo on FRCs

For those of you who have custom painted corvette FRCs, what do you use to fill the corvette logo? Seems to me that plain old bondo would be a bad idea because of how flexible the FRCs are and how much you have to bend them to install them, plus the heat from the engine would be a problem (I think). I've seen "bondo extreme" which sounds like it may be just the stuff, but i'd like some input from members who have done this.

Thanks.

JB Weld sandable plastic filler will work good, but is kind of a pain to work with. Did a set over a year back and they held up no problem.

I used Bondo and sanded it down before priming/painting, did mine over 3 years ago and they're still holding up.

I picked up the "Bondo Ultimate" and spent all day friday prepping and filling and prepping and sanding...and sanding more. Just put on the first coat of color today and so far it looks like they will come out perfectly. So thanks for all the suggestions.
