I should just take my emblems off on both sides (just in case one side is different), but I want to be sure I have double sided tape to put it back on if needed, like if there are holes.
If there are holes, I just thought of an easy way to fill them in. I could remove the fender to have access to the inside. Temporarily put a strip of strong tape on the inside of the fender to cover the holes from the back. Then from the outside, fill in the holes with some bondo. Cleanly scrape off the excess and wipe with a damp cloth to remove residue. Repeat as necessary if the bondo shrinks. Possibly do some light sanding if needed, keeping the sanding to as small an area as possible. Use really fine sandpaper, that way I may be able to buff the surrounding paint with polishing compound. Use a paint touch up pen or touch up tube with a small brush to paint the dots where the bondo is. (ideally dab on a bit of primer first). Then remove the tape from the inside of the fender and reinstall the fender.
It could be done with fiberglass resin too - it's definitely more durable, but I find it's too messy and may end up running all over my fenders, causing me to need to sand and spray paint a much larger area. But I think bondo will be OK. The fenders don't see as much abuse and vibration from something like a door or tailgate, so less chance of it cracking an popping out.
