On a 97 accord, when you take off the Honda "H" in the center of the trunk lid, what do you do about the two holes?

 

weld and smooth

 

pretend you're with a girl....i mean weld and smooth as well

 

well i guess the H is there to stay, 17year olds dont usually know how to weld, much less have the equipment to do so, not where i come from anyway

 

definetely let someone who knows what they are doing do the job...someone who has car welding experience so that they dont warp anything...althougth the hood is pretty darn thick.

 

If you are 17, I'm guessing you are still in highschool. I bet you could talk to the "shop" teacher and he might make a little project out of welding your car for you. Just don't let the students learn how to weld, using your car.

....you could just leave the H there were it belongs

 

go to wal-mart and get this marine epoxy crap... (if you're near water I guess, mine has it) and then get ready.

Punch out both plastic peices and then get some sandpaper. 80 grit.

Sand down the inside with 80 grit nice a rough and then use the epoxy how it's supposed to be done. Make sure you have some of the epoxy sticking out of the holes. Wait until its dry and then sand down to where it matches the lines of the trunk. Prime and paint.

I did it to my deck lid after removing my wing. Looks good for an amatuer.

 

shaving gel and a razor...and start shaving...naw, take it to a body shop and shave it...

 

bondo?

 

leave the h's there......if not, people might mistake ur car for some other brand!!!!!

take the h badges off and put ferrari badges on

 

im sure he has honda plasterd on his windsheld so he should be fine

 

despite the fact that the people here have now classified you as a ricer, i have to admit, there are only a few optins, if you arent the welding type, save up for a carbon fiber hood instead and then drop that on, or perhaps buy a used one, PM and i can arrange that, or, what you can do is buy a new aftermarket stock hood, and i dont think it has the holes, but you have to make sure of that!

 

just switch the logo w/ one of those ricey glow in the dark bad boys

That does not answer his question and was stupid and pointless to post that. If you look in the haynes manual you should have there is a basic guide to body work and that should help you to get this done. It is very simple. since you cannot weld then you need to use some sort of body filler and fill the holes. I recomend using a 3M spot filler rather than Bondo because bondo is not as smooth when sanded and can leave spots. First Sand down then fill then sand block it and then shoot it (with paint for those not familiar with painting terms).

Or just take it to a body shop and have them do it.
