Filling in Trunk Holes

Hey, I took my wing off and am wondering the best way to fill in the holes? Bondo?

I would spot weld the holes, grind down the welds down then do a small layer of filler(bondo) to make the surface smooth.

Whatever you do please don't use plugs. They look horrible. Get some adhesive vinyl that matches the color of your car.

I wouldn't do anything permanent like welding the holes unless you are positive you don't want to sell the car for a while. I'd probably use plugs or tape.

Ive seen some color matched plugs - that are close while not perfect. My car is black, so its easy for me. Id think you could settle with something close and it would be acceptable.

best option u have. vinyl is easy to put on and easy to remove and u wont have to worry about the adhesive damaging the paint.

if u really want to permanently fill the trunk holes, then try to find a swap with a RS or regular lancer that fits the evo.
