alright i took my spoiler off.. the bolts were stripped on the spoiler already all of the bolts came off fine except one so i had to rip it through the panel not that big of a deal. it just needs ot be grinded down with a dremel.. then all you have to do is put fiberglass or mesh on the underside of the holes and fil the top with bondo and touch it up with a little paint. im to lazy to do it my self so if anyones willing to make a few bucks by helping me out name your price and i will see what i can do :)

instead of filling them just find any wingless hatch from a base probe

if you don't do it correctly the holes will show through later and look like crap

Yeah it has to be welded and redrilled, it's not really an easy job.

i would go look for one from a base probe but its hard to find them in the yards :\ let alone find a black one.... **** even if it dosent come out perfect at least it will look better then electrical tape i have covering the holes now xD

well, that is an easy job to me. i did it to my trunk and my doors :wink:
tack a piece of metal underneath the hole, slowly fill in the hole with weld. then lightly grind it down as to not make the metal hot enough to warp, a very light coat of body filler and viola.

Yea I don't care what you've shaved it's not a quick easy job. I bet I can spot all your work if you think it's quick and easy. And the way you described is hood, I'm a perfectionist and if you quickly and easily shave holes you'll always see it.

You guy are both rite....But for someone that know what they are doing it easy.BUT EVOMIKE rite it takes time.It not a 2 hr fixes.And ppl don't weld the holes anymore.They use the premabond it the compound for puttin door skins on.

We lead fill holes put ppl don't want to pay the cost.We don't weld because pin holes can trip moister.But most shop don't care anymore because most ppl are cheap and want **** done for penny on a dollar.So they use the sealer.If you are in the body work you know how ppl think it easy and you can paint a car rite for 500$ and have it done in a day .Only a example

well whatever then, did it that way on my 1st probe and this probe, the guy who bought my 1st one to this day has had no issues and i see the car on a fairly-frequent basis. can't even tell there were ever door locks there.
no bubbling in the paint, no cracking no warping, no nothing. so i guess there is more than one way to do it right. Fortunately since i'm cheap cause of not being able to find a job it costed me alot less and looks the same after its finished. used a 220 grit flapper disc with hardly any pressure on the metal. it was almost perfect that when i sanded off the body filler (rage extreme before i get flamed :rolleyes:) there was only a few small spots that still had it on. then went over it again with a coat of polyester spot putty and again there was only really fine strips that were filled in from the flapper disc.
not sure why i'm even debating this as of course my way is "hood"
easy to me might be extremely difficult for you, and vice versa. and yes, i do consider it pretty easy...

Filler should never be used in a situation like this, filling or shaving anything body filler shouldn't be used. It's all about leading and metal finishing I'm sorry I'm on a whole different level. I take the smallest job as seriously as a full chop and channel. Body filler is for the unskilled.

damn this sounds like quite a job then and ill need to at least find a welder. my friend did the rust on his wheel wells with screen and bondo its been holding for a good few months now PERFECT but id rather not chance it if its gonna look bad that way :( the welding thing would make me feel alot better at least i can roll around knowing i didnt resort to a bondo fix lol
