Default Removing vent from ABS Plastic Side Skirt



Just got those from hmotorsports.com

I dont like the vent on the side and I would like to cover over that... what would be the best way to do that? Plastic Welding?

thanks

I would treat this as a bumper repair. You need to make sure you know what type of material this is before you start working on it. Different materials require different treatments. These links should help and just search.
