rear wing removal issue.

97_Sleeper_Gt · November 2nd, 2010, 05:49 PM

alright so i removed my rear wing to try it out see how it looks and i like it. but the problem is the holes after i removed it are not perfect circles.

after some research looks like people just buy plugs from a hardware store and paint them sand them and plug them. but only one of my holes is actually 5/16 the other one is a little bigger and the back two closer to the tail lights are almost like OVALS. lol???? wtf they dont sell plugs that are ovals.

ill try and get some pics but itll be hard to show. has anyone dealt with this or anyone know why my holes are not perfect circles?

thanks

You could always just weld a small metal plate under the hole, fill it with bondo, sand and feather it then prime it and get the trunk lid repainted.

just got some of those plastic things, that they use on fenders to hold plastic together. got some of those and some sealant and pushed them threw the holes.

put jb weld then smooth it out with sand paper so it can be blend in with the body then use some touch up paint.
