Hi,
ive been thinking about a turbo spoiler... so i took parts of the low spoiler off, and one thing led to another and now the whole damn thing is off and i have like 20 holes in my trunk...

What do i fill these with?

I was thinkin that stuff that you line the intake manifold with so that you can port it more... its like liquid metal or something. Can that shit be sanded down pretty easy?? i have heard of people using it but i cant remembet what its called.

welding is out of the question, so please dont tell me to weld it. I was thinking i would epoxy several layers of wire mesh from underneath, the fill in on top, and then sand it down. but i need to know what to use to fill it in. i was just going to use bondo, that would be the easiest thing but i dont want it to crack after i get my new paint job.

Any help would be appreciated!

weld it and bondo ... save you a lot of hassle in the long run. thats how im doing mine this week. I wouldnt used any liquid crap or glues.

yeah get it welded, it will crack in time if you dont. For the bigger wholes id say get a small metal circle to weld up underneath it and then fiberglass and bondo over it, the smaller holes just fill it in with the welder repeat process. Trust me you will be much happier down the road with the result, do it right the first time.

this might help a little

If you weld it, then practice first. Warping that large of an area is easy to do if you do not pay attention. DO NOT quench it. If welding is out of the question, use fiberglass. Do not buy off the shelf bondo brand. There are WAY better fillers than the fine type typically sold. When I was working for S-W, we could supply most shops with Tiger Hair. It has fiberglass in it. If you don't want to weld, use fiberglass mat (course type) on the bottom and make sure that you mix the resin correctly (don't add anymore hardener to speed it up). I'd cut some fine mat to fit the hole and lay that on top. Get a D/A sander and start with 80. You want to lower area around that big hole and actually sand the cured fine fiberglass. It will sit higher than the hatch. Sand it all flat and use your thicker filler then. Get it all smooth until you get to 400 on your D/A. Use a quality Primer converted to a sealer. Shoot that and it will naturally act as a filler primer. Wet sand that down. If all is well, shoot your base and top coats. Otherwise weld it. BTW if you decide on welding it, be sure to use a weld through primer to prevent the chance of rust. I'd use a welder that actually uses a shielding gas too. Good Luck

thanks for the responses... i dont know why i didnt see that post when i searched.

So basically what im learning is that what i wanted to do wont work, and i just wasted $150 on a spoiler because there is no way i can install it my self. i dont know how to fiberglass and i sure as hell am not gonna mess with welding(plus i dont have a welder), and $1,000 is too much for a damn spoiler. i wanted to some how mold my side skirts as well, and then just get the whole car repainted but i wanted to do the spoiler first. Man, why cant anything on my car be easy to do!?!?!?
