What can I plug emblem holes with?

So I removed the RX-8 and Mazda logo emblem from my trunk this weekend, and ended up with a few small holes in the lid. I figure it isnt probably a good idea to leave them open so does anyone have ideas as to what i should use to plug them?

I've heard and saw others do this, but never heard their solution to the holes left behind.

any suggestions??

Bondo and then get the area painted to match... or if you really want to do it the civic way, you could fill it in with toothpaste and paint over it with your touchup paint

hey everyone has solutions that will cost you 600 dollars... if you want to do it for now and see how it comes out do what i did and get some of the JB weld, or the putty you mix together and it turns pretty much into steel (so they say). The back side of the trunk is pretty bare, but i sanded it down anyway and jammed a lump in each of the holes making sure its smoothed downt o the trun the best i could. I then leveled out what pushed out through the hole and did a little touch up with spot putty. I got it smooth enough that I could use touch up paint and you can barely see them there. I dont know, worth a try if you feel liek it.

Or you could just put them emblems back up until your ready to do some bodywork on it.
