Rear trunk lid star swap

I debadged the car a fwe days ago not realizing the star in the center of the rear decklid is pegged in, not stuck on with tape. I want to replace this with a small badge maybe similar to what is on the front hood. Something round, flat and smaller than the existing star. But, it needs to have an adhesive back, not the style of the aftermarket flat hood ornaments.

Anyone have any ideas, or changed this out before. My only other thought, was to get a new star and have it painted white to match the car.

You might want to check Ebay...I know they have trunk badges for various models.

Thanks, I will look tonight. I am sure I can modify something. I was just being lazy.

You might want to make sure to cover the 3 holes so that water doesn't get into the trunk when you decide to have it wash...
