What's the best way to cover up the holes?
I want to take off my ugly *** factory spoiler.

 

bondo and paint!

 

You can find plastic caps/plugs to fit the holes, then paint them to match and seal them with silicone adhesive. That is probably the most cost-effective option.

 

pick up a used trunk from someone local


fiberglass/bondo


welding/grinding


or the plug option but be careful that its sealed right or water could get in their and rust can form.

 

Okay, thanks guys. I'll just do the bondo method. Sounds the easiest.

 

Bondo is just going to fall into the holes repeatedly. You need some kind of backing. I would weld them shut, grind it smooth and then use bondo to finish

 

Where can you pick up some plastic caps?

I got mine at the body shop, but you should also be able to find some at a hardware or auto parts store.

 

use a fiberglass resin the back side so the bondo has something to grab onto then throw some bondo on there..sand..prime..paint..ect...

 

Oh damn so the bondo should have a support so it doesn't fall through....never thought about that.

Does anyone have a pic of what the plastic caps look like?

 

Would it be okay if I put tape on top of the trunk and fill the bottom with bondo? Would that work?

 

welding would be a good idea, but make sure you "water damn" so you dont warp the decklid.

water damning is basically taking a soaked rag and wrapping it around the area you are welding, it absorbs heat to minimize warping the decklid.

you can use something called tiger hair instead of bondo, its a little stronger material, has fibers in it. so it might not fall through as much.

gorrilla hair is what ur looking for.

its a fiberglass/bondo already mixed together. all you have to do is add hardner.

 

I would weld the holes shut. Then slap some body filler over it. Sand, prime, sand, scuff, then paint.
