You might want to use 3m double sided emblem tape. Not the thin DS tape, but that spongey (?) kind. It helps keep water out from under the wing posts. Also i think Cyan posted that he paid $800 to weld and paint the hatch and fender. Are you keeping the side pieces and just filling the center hatch hole? If so it'll most likely be cheaper.

You definitely want to bolt it on. You should have rubber gaskets that will fit under the footings as to prevent water leaking into your rear deck. If you don't have gaskets, use automotive double sided tape and put some type of sealer around each hole on the top of the trunk. That will also prevent water from coming in. As far as the holes in the trunk, make sure they weld them shut. If they try and use bondo or anything else, you may have cracking occur after a while. That's the best way to close the holes. I don't know how much it would cost to do this, but that's what I had done on my car, and it looks perfect.

If anyone knows how much it is to fill holes, please post here, I have the 97 talon wing, but i might sell it if its too much $$$ to fill the holes that are there from the wing on there now.
