| Cheapest body shop to fill in spoiler holes
hey guys, just went wingless on my DC a few months back.
I was looking for a shop to weld five holes on my hatch, anyone know the approximate price for this? This is the setup for my hatch
This is not my car, but it has two holes on one side of the hatch, and three on the other (2 for spoiler, 1 for brake light) 
Anyways let me know! Also a shop around vancouver that can do this fast and cheap!

CF trunks is not the function I want. Maybe its for someone wanting to lose curbweight or someone who likes that look, but I would prefer factory look over trendy anyday, thanks for the input tho
Any ideas on a good reputable shop?

maybe it'll be cheaper to do the body work yourself and then bring it in to get it painted. You can do it cheap by using jb weld and then filler over that or use fiberglass filler to fill the holes and then regular filler.

Use color matched decals about 1 inch wide circles?
That way u can revert back if u ever decide to. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I've honestly seen people use higher quality vinyl that are decently colormatched, sure they're an eyesore if they're there, but no one really notices without driving that car everyday...
cheap + effective.

Maybe try sourcing out a trunk from a junk yard? Unless you have the special purple colour, it shouldn't be difficult to find a colour match. I can't see it being more than $150 with a DIY cut polish.

The hatch opens and closes, heat expands and contracts the metal both or either of these would cause the JB weld to crack around the edges and fall out eventually.
Albeit ghetto IMO you might get away with it in a fender but not a door, hatch, hood or roof.

bump.
Looking to remove the spoiler on my 08 Accord Coupe V6. Previous owner installed the OEM spoiler on the car so now I'm rocking 2 spoilers (Deck lid and OEM). Looks kinda funky..

any autoparts store would have rubber plugs like that, if not in stock, they should be able to order it in
