^ i grinded away until i got fresh enough metal to where i could drill a hole through and rivet a piece of sheet metal....man it sucks getting a piece of metal in that small area lol. just make sure your hand holds the metal far away from where your drilling ^_^

Looks good, but why did you even put the spoiler back on?

I would have thrown that piece of shit in the trash.

[T00ch]
