Ok, this is another Attempt at filling what used to be the Holes for my Non-Turbo Spoiler, Power Antenna, and Rear Wiper Arm. Most of you said to Weld it (would be the best) and I Agreed, but due to Lack of Funds and Refusing to trade an Arm and a Leg to some Body Shop for Services.. What else would work? I have two Neighbors who are Retired Carpenters (not that they know too much about Cars..) And they've both Reccomended trying J.B. Weld and Sanding it down afterwards. An actual Retired Welder (who's a friend of one of the two Carpenters) was the one who Initially Reccomended using the stuff, said it worked good on stuff like Washers, Dryers, and Fridges. What do you guys think? And if it would work.. How would I go about with the Procedure? I've never used it.. Thanks a lot.

No, do not use that garbage, it wont last. If you need a cheap and easy fix...grind the paint to bare metal and fiberglass over the holes with some matting, grind the matting down so its rough and then just fill it with body filler.

since its your sencond attemp jus do it the right way and weld it . Jb weld wont work that great

jb weld works great in some places. body work is not one of them.

do it right and weld it up or at the very least glass it up. jb weld doesn't hold up under paint for some reason.

I remember reading a write-up on an S2000 site a few years back where a guy filled the holes with silicon and then put some rubber washers on top of the holes. He then painted the top of the rubber washers the same color as his car and it turned out pretty good. It's ghetto as hell but may be a temporary solution if money is tight. You can always pull them off once you have the money to have a shop do it.

I've seen evo guys do this too without complaints

I found a guy to do the Welding for Cheap. He works at a Local Muffler Shop and was Reffered by a guy who does Body Work in Partnership with him on the side. He said go Buy a 3x3' Sheet of Sheet Metal (What Thickness?) and Pre-Cut the Pieces ahead of time (Overlap them a bit, but how much?) and then have the guy Weld them on and Grind them down? Does that sound about right?

I'd do the nails through the holes trick myself
