Default Filling in the "Pontiac" in the rear

I did a search and haven't found much. I'm looking for anyone who has filled in the "Pontiac" on the rear of their car.

I found this pic which should explain what I'm talking about (it obviously hasn't been done here):



Mine's black but still noticeable, but I'm curious.

Has anyone filled this in???

You might be confused. (Or I might be, ...)
But here's what I got out of it.
The thread starter is not looking for "fill-in's".

Hit up the member name Pheonix...I know about the spelling but that is the way it is. He just recently did his and can give you some more insite. He also posts alot in the painting section, which you might get more of a response there as well.

Yes, that's right, thank you for clarifying it. I would like the "Pontiac" to be gone.

If it has been done, does anyone have any pics?

I like it! Looks different! But I bet people would think its an after market bumper, like those made in Taiwan....

My thoughts exactly. Be sure to sand well for a good prep surface.

Not on the rear of a Formula it wouldn't...

Or if he did the CETA mod.
