Fuzzyneon · Post by **Fuzzyneon** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 12:50 am

finnally got a great deal on a extra trunk lid to start shaving my keyhole and spoiler holes heres the temp trunk pics. almost makes me wanna two tone the car

i MIGHT paint this flat black but i feel it would eff up the car look to much ....ugh any ideas?

Stick with the colour match trunk. But other wise car looks nice and clean except the pinstripe on the side

color match or paint hood roof and trunk

Leave it color matched, IMO

Just have it color-matched. If you go two-tone then you'll have to go the whole hood,roof,trunk combo. Good luck on the key-hole shaving.

Colormatched. I don't like two tones.

THAT is the best way. Bondo and fiberglass is just laziness.

I second that. why would a body man tell u to do that?? It''s metal. weld it.

Speeder · Post by **Speeder** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 8:48 pm

just weld it and be done with

as far as painting just color match it

Fuzzyneon · Post by **Fuzzyneon** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:38 pm

will bondo and fiberglass really look that shitty? i dont have any welding stuff on hand or anyway to pay someone to do it....

sxxxt · Post by **sxxxt** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:41 pm

do not bondo it, it will crack and it would be a wast of time. just have a body shop weld it for u and paint it. shouldnt be too expensive. and just get a black hood and be done. black hood and trunk FTW!!!

Fuzzyneon · Post by **Fuzzyneon** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:49 pm

jb weld? (sorry kinda new to body work ect)

Post by **racer12306** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:52 pm

that would probably be worse than the bondo and fiberglass

sxxxt · Post by **sxxxt** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:59 pm

your not bonding anything together so no jb weld. lol just drive to some body shops tell them what you want done and just get some quotes.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 8:35 am

No they mean actually weld the holes shut with a MIG welder.... which is the best way.

Hey fuzzy, what's the new idea for the bumper, you gonna do the lip on it.

hybrid-Srt2001 · Post by **hybrid-Srt2001** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 10:50 am

you need to weld in filler plates, then fill with a fiberglass impregnated filler, followed by high build primer surfacer.

benzsxt · Post by **benzsxt** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 10:52 am

I would do it for you for $400 with paint.

without paint? lol

Why not just fill the keyhole and paint the gray lid to match? It seems like you'll have more work to do on the stock lid, since you want to fill the spoiler holes as well. The gray one has 4/5 of the work already done.

it has a dent near the keyhole witch may be more work then its worth to get out

You don’t have to weld anything if you don’t want to. There are plenty of good metal-metal adhesives out there.
