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.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.

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. -

And you're 19 and you are a "professional" welder since you were 16? Seems to me a "professional" would know the basics of welding expansion and contraction that causes welding and would use the right equipment for the job.
I may not know you, but you stated your abilities yourself and tried to pass your opinion off as fact. Im telling him otherwise.
Just take your time, work in small tacks and move from side to side, let the welds air cool and you should be fine.

Electrical tape since your car is some what black.

I know that much, and I do know more than just "basics". I guess I should have put a little more detail into my post, I apologize for coming off as a dick, and "profesional is a little far fetched, I guess we can say skilled welder.

I went to school for it and took the tests and became certified. I graduated at 16 also. -
