86647, filling spoiler holes HELP... Posted by OneSadRS, Jun-25-05 01:35 PM
would it be possible to bondo the holes or fiberglass? i have no idea about that kind of stuff, any help would be apreciated, maybe a step by step from someone who did their own. 600 big ones is not worth it for filling some holes. thnx

sure....
take the spoiler and little clear clip things out of the trunk/hatch whatever you doing.
dent the holes in some so your not filing over just a hole. if you dent it some, it will be easier. just use the end of a screwdriver (the handle side) and tap it so it dents in some.
grind the holes are 1" all the way around it to bare metal
place a piece of matting or something from the inside of the hole and use some sem glue or adheasive or even bondo to help hold it on.
mix up some fglass resin and put a tiny bit of it on the cloth or matting
get some real thick/hard body filler do a coat over that, sand it down smooth then mix up some bondo or whatnot, some tackfree shit, slap a coat over that hard filler and sand that down.
wetsand it, and primer it and paint.
or just get a welder and weld them shut.
thats a pretty easy way of a DIY hole fillin trunk shit.
good luck!

weld them shut so they don't come back out.

You have to weld. Find someone who can weld. It will cost you more in the future when the fiberglass/bondo sinks. Besides, you cnat just bondo up the Huge ass hole in the middle from the stock low spoiler.

How much would your body shop cost to fill holes and install and paint a turbo wing? Any less than $800? I got this wing chillin in my room and I want to put it on a.s.a.p

Man, $800 for that...
Anyways, best way would be to weld them, but bondo / fiberglass would work too.

So after you weld the holes in, what next? Don't you have to file down all the rough spots or am I missing something?

grind/file them down then slap a coat of filler over it.

You'll still somehow get leaks in your trunk though. I do. :(
