Bodywork estimate

[coolwhip]

about how much do you think it would cost to shave the rear wiper hole and the spoiler mounting holes on my 2g eclipse? would a good body shop be able to shave those and just paint the area where the shaved, or would they have to paint the whole assend?? and how many holes are there under my stock spoiler? (the small one, not the big turbo one).

my car is white if that makes a difference

Yes a good body shop will weld those holes shut and fill them in. Depends on what they want to do about the paint, but you're looking around $400 my guess.

... it'll take about $7.25...

1 pint: Bondo Body filler, $2.75
1 small can: white spray paint, $1.50
1 small can: ClearKote, $3.00

Wal Mart pwns, dude... and the best part about it is, you don't pay extra if some idiot screws it up!

For a good shop to do that will be kinda pricey. But you get what you pay for. Especially with body work and paint.

i really dont think that walmart paint will look right in the car.

do the prep work yourself and then just take it somewhere and spend $150 for paint. The best way to get rid of spoiler holes imo is to weld them in .. then bondo ... then sand it smooth. I'd leave the rear wiper on ...

And why not? if it is just plain white, you go buy a can of just plain white, spray down, spray another few layers, clear coat, and you're done!
