Default Holes in my trunk

I bought my teg with holes in the trunk where the wing was. Anyway to close those up without messing up the paint and making it look worse?

You don't have to weld it, but to fix something like that besides using rubber plugs/corks whatever, you're going to have to re-paint it. If it was me, I would grind it all down and use panel bonding adhesive and a metal tab of some kind from behind and then sand it down and fill it up and paint it. Bakertime did this in his thread, you should check it out, it's going to be the same thing.

See the problem is I cant paint lol. So I was trying to avoid that if I could. I am just considering have the hole car re-done at a shop. The car has no rust but it has some dents and scratches. Plus its the maroon color. Thanks for the help guys!

You can go to your local Honda dealer and buy some firewall blind plugs.

I know on my old 96 Accord they fit perfect, and I felt good by rocking OEM parts (keke)

#95550-10000 for the 10mm plug
