Taking off the spoiler

[bad2127]

Whats the best to use to cover up the holes from removing the stock spoiler?
I'm thinking bondo and some paint because the plugs look kinda ugly.
Is there an easier way to go about covering the holes so it looks good?

The best way is to get them welded because bondo won't hold up as well over time. Welding is more expensive unless you can do it yourself, but it's not easy because of the thin metal and the need for a quality weld. Bondo will work ok but it can shrink around the edges and leave cracks, and you need to back it with fiberglass or tack weld a piece of metal to the back of the holes to make it strong

I cheated when I got my Ply, for it had an aftermarket ricer wing (ugliest thing ever was!):

I went out to a yard and grabbed a hatch from a DSM for 40 bucks - repainted it to the factory color and looks great now. That original hatch was warped anywhos - leaks everywhere. Prob when the clown that installed the wing warped the rear deck with his crappy drilling.

Do what this guy said if you cant get them welded^ Ive plugged up a few holes on hondas with a small piece of metal jb welded to the back side of it then filled with bondo. I havent had any problems with the holes getting screwed up yet.

Heard also, if you can taper the hole edges, then you can fibreglass both sides, sand to flush, then bondo over..
