Couple of 2009 questions

Hey all,

First time poster, short time lurker. I am getting a 2009 delivered to me in the next couple weeks and have three questions.
1. Can someone confirm that the side badges on the front fenders have holes under them? I have seen reports at 2008's domand would assume 2009's also do then but would love a confirmation before I debadge them.

2. If there are holes, has anyone successfully sanded and painted the badges while still on the car? I am worried about the longevity of the paint and would think sanded and flaking paint would look worse than the badges themselves.

3. I detail cars as a side business (this is actually doubling as a company car), one thing I have never done is the engine bay of a hybrid or electric car. I have been asked a couple times, but never felt comfortable, and really most customers don't ask. Once I get this car I will want to detail the underhood area, but frankly I was worried about someone else's car the same way I worry a about mine. Has anyone here detailed theirs? Any tips, or can I go ahead and spray? I don't use a pressure washer, mainly spray bottles and brushes and chemicals, but will rinse with the mist setting on a regular hose nozzle.

As required I'm sure, once the car gets here and cleaned up I will post pics.
