no thats way to low, think $1500

i got quoted over $900 just to hve the holes painted and filled.

You guys are crazy. I got quoted $210 to have the holes filled and painted. Spoiler installation is doable by yourself after purchasing and painting.

what a spread.

I didn't want to start another thread so i thought i'd post my question here.
I am planning to have my high wing mounted this weekend and i wanted to know if covering up the old holes with just bondo is good enough or will it cause problems in the future ?
Any input on this will be greatly appreciated.

I'm in the process of filling in the holes right now on mine.
Not finished yet but the result so far as been really good.
I've had one side done for about 4 months or so and have went through a drastic temp change.
With out any cracking or problems.

If you do all the prep work yourself, youre gonna save yourself tons of money. Theres another way to patch them if you dont wanna deal with welding them. Ive used this method on an integra im building and the results were great.

Get some panel bonding adhesive, scrap sheet metal, body filler, and all the other things youre gonna need to prep the area for paint. Cut pieces of the sheet metal to patch the areas and glue them to the back side of the hole. Make sure you scuff it up and clean the area as well as you can before you do it. Wait at least 12 hours before you do anything else. Waiting 24 would be better. After that, all youre gonna need to do is go for the normal procedure to prep the car for paint. If you do everything properly, youre never gonna be able to tell that there was a hole there.

i did all the work myself to my spyder and took it for a paint job, its not had at all, if you were from around here i would of help you install it .
