Holes in trunk lid?!?!?!?!

[Guest]

I have did the same thing... I used bond the first time.... It worked for the time being but then it will expand and contract with the weather and you will see a hairline crack where the whole was... Then I moved to jbweld.. this seemed to work alot better.. I have not had a problem since then but now that im redoing everything im drilling out the jb and welding them shut... Hope this helps ya out.

I'm going to be in the same situation. I'm removing my stock spoiler and the radio antenna. I was thinking of just using some rubber plugs and trying to paint them to match the body.

you can get rubber plugs at mac's, thats what i did on my old car when i took the wing off.

get a diff one

i would say welding would be the best bet, you will never tell it was there

[Jim]

yeah, you need to weld the holes shut, grind, sand and repaint

[Turbo5Oh]

just put some tape over them, preferably electrical tape they make all kinds of diff. colors, if u get real bored u could even make custom pin stripng or racing stripes possible a custom winshield banner

[harwood39]

lol. i think i will just have them welded up. I will be removinf the Honda emblem off of the back too when i do this so those holes will be welded up too.

Hey! Who told you my secret? :mad: Nah, I used electrical tape to cover the holes when I took off my spoiler, it was only temporary so it's alright.

dont be dumb. if you weld the holes the metal will warp. I have welded on bodies of cars before and it warped with the lowest heat possible. Your best bet is to get a new trunk lid.

[Guest]

harwood when you were trying to sell ur car...you said it came with a extra trunk lid with no holes?!

[harwood39]

it has holes for a stock wing, and its green not the color of my car. it would have to get sprayed inside and out.

[Guest]

rubber cement and grey duct tape. works on everything

Not if you know what you are doing. I welded in a roll pan, and a filler piece for my tailgate handle with no warping at all.

Dont tell people something cant be done just because you dont know how to do it right.

[harwood39]

I have been a professional welder for two and a half years, i'm only 19 years old. I know how to weld, so dont judge if you dont know me or my abilities. I was welding with a lincoln 300 welder. It doesnt turn down any lower than 12 amps and still welded a hole up the size of a quarter. You want to talk welding we can go at it.
