Usually, you weld a plate to the back side of the holes then fill it over with bondo.

I've heard of welding and sanding as well, so it's all metal.

Many believe bondo will eventually crack, in a matter of time but that's typically with molded over fenders where there is much more flex. Man, it would be sick and one of a kind but pricey...

Which lip spoiler?

Matt, sell your MS wing and pick up the RB spoiler if you're worried about holes in the trunk. Not sure if you are though...

MS brackets make more holes than OEM spoiler? I guess that makes sense, the RB mounts into the OEM holes and covers a good portion of the trunk as well, I'd guess it would cover it. Also, not many people have it; when I had a spoiler I planned on picking one up but ended up swapping trunks.

you know what matt my trunk came spoilerless so I drilled holes (4) for the ms wing. afaik the wing uses the same mounting holes at the stock spoiler so they SHOULD be the same. Is this the RB spoiler you are talking about?



I don't like it, I like the more curvy style of the ms lip spoiler

Yes, it's sort of a smaller version of the INGs.

Hehe, buy this to match your other RE-A schwag ->
