If you can set aside a couple hundred bucks, you could just have a local body shop or customization shop fill the holes and spray them. Or you can go the cheapy route like I did and just fill it with some apoxy crap I found in my friends garage and put a black vinyl strip over it.

 

That doesn't look bad, and my 8 is red as well. I might do that if I black out my tails, as I think it would flow better on my S2 then.

 

lol! i was wondering why this thread was getting so many responses..

 

Yea, I remember a few years ago when I requested a photo shop for this everyone thought it would look ugly haha...

I love it, its held up great and it was a (literally) $40 mod. I do plan to purchase a carbon Fiber trunk and paint it VR and leave the back CF in the future however.

The holes are big (specially from the 'MAZDA") so do not shave it unless you plan to fill and paint.

 

Do I have a reputation, or is that directed at something else?


Meh. Some Bondo should fill them in nicely, though I bet a respray would set me back like $200 bucks at a shitty place like Macco. Not sure if it's worth it now.

 

i was going to rant about "mechanics" who cant even identify a car they are being asked to possibly work on. its one thing if its some obscure model but a TA?

 

you're getting there

 

Seriously. I thought I had found a decent guy, but when I came back with the actual T/A and he started to look up an estimate on his comp, he asked me, "So you said it's a Grand-Am right?" I was just like, "Ya. Didn't you notice all the plastic sporty, aerodynamic body cladding?"

I mean really. My T/A even has an obnoxiously giant hood bird...
