Depending on the fasteners you might get them to flex enough as you tighten the self tapping speed nuts sometimes called pal nuts

 

Good idea ! I'll try to find out what their made of. The only downfall of these is waxing around them. If Ican get them flush , removable fasteners maybe remove them then wax or polish ....John

 

Or don’t drill holes in a perfectly straight hood! Your choice

 

Those prongs predate today's adhesive technology and are now obsolete.

 

I remember my dad insisting the Chrysler dealership put his new Imperial in the body shop to have the dealer logo removed from the trunk lid.

I took my HHR letters off the hatch of my 2008 and with another R from salvage yard modified to letter P

BTW how's my driving?

 

I’ve always shaved any emblems , dealer stickers ,

Those nasty things! Yuk!

 

Ditto Blue, same here, but save them.
