I've decided to take off my spoiler before I paint the car. I don't like it much. But I'm wondering, how should I fill in the holes? Bondo? The holes shouldn't be too big, so do I really have to use sheet metal? I have no idea how the process goes, so please inform me.

 

Well you could get thoes little stick on hole covers that look like little spikes or you can weld in some sheetmetal grind it flat and paint over it like I did mine. I have pics in the Style section they show my trunk lid.

 

Pay a body shop to do it. It will look best that way, even though it will cost more.

 

ummm i just put black tape over it.

 

for really really cheap... and if you dont have any rust... rubber grommets at homedepot and matching rubber plugs

 

yay for home depot..




but if you're going to be painting it.. just use bondo.. put some on... sand it out... put some on... sand it out... keep repeating until the larger holes are gone.. the little ones are easy... but the larger ones take more time if you don't feel like putting "real" metal in.

 

you should put real metal on though^ bondo is really for filling imperfections in the paint, not holes

 

plus bondo will crack later on down the line. weld it shut, grind the beads, smooth it out with bondo and paint

i did mine ghetto style. covered it with red vinyl

sup lucky. didn't know you were on here too
-wu-

 

i'm going to weld mine up and then put on the type x wing

 

metal is the best way.
duct tape is the ghetto way.

but they both work LOL

 

I should just get a new trunk. Hahaha.

Wu!

 

if you can get one the same color and for a good price at a junk yard go for it

i had mine welded its the best and the cleanest

 

hmm.... i might just grind it down to get rid of the rust and vinyl it out... no a bad idea

anyone know of a vinyl that matches 89 hatch gray?

 

^ Best option there.

 

I'm repainting my car anyway, or primering it, so I might as well buy a new trunk. But I'll see how the spoiler looks with the aero first.

ZING!
