fill them in by welding them closed. Then use a little bondo to smooth it out. Or go be a cheap fuck and use clear packaging tape.

I used plastic body hole plugs that are at any bodyshop (easy for me because i worked at one) and sealed it from the bottom side with silicone.

If your going for a full delete, it would require body work like the others suggested above.

ya, ive worked on dozens of cars that the owners have done this. Cops are bad around me and ticket for anything they want. And friends run GT wings on the track and take them off to avoid bs. Throw clear tape down and you never notice the holes and it seals it off from the weather. Remove to put the wing back on at track days

You cant use JUST bondo on the holes. It doesnt work. the bondo cracks and falls out of the holes within weeks after. You need to reinforce something underneath it first.

what i did on my hatch was welded a plate under it and then shaved it down, and done. just kidding, i wish i would of done it that way, but i welded the plates and left little holes here and there, but i cleaned it up with bondo.

on my old coupe i filled in the holes with welds. very slow process and grinded the excess metal. reinforced with epoxy on the inside and than just primer it. if your welds are crappy it will end up with pin holes and then you can use filler. on the mustang i bought plugs from autozone...interior plugs 3/8 and used a bead of silicone

Ghetto solution:

I took my wing off my old car and discovered about 3 sets of holes. Looked into using bondo but figured I'd screw it up permanently.

Went ahead and bought latex stickers (white for the white car). Used duct tape inside and covered the holes from above with the latex stickers. Then spray painted over them with touch up paint (taped off the holes). Lasted for about a month or so and looked a lot better. Not as good as a good bondo job, but it was better than nothing.


Another solution might be to just buy a cheap stock wing and put that on to cover up the holes. Probably save a lot of time and headache.

Let's get this straight guys.

If you're going to do it proper, you need to weld in a disk flush with the factory metal, then grind it down smooth and paint it. If you put it under the hole and weld it from the topside, then fill it in with bondo, the bondo will sink and put big fisheyes in your paint.

You can just use an antenna plug from the honda dealer. I used one for mine a while back. Still looks pretty clean also.

Hope this helps :) for everybody that doesnt like bondoing. Its only $10 too.

This is what I used... just went to homedepot under hardware and they sell different size plugs. I spray painted them black but over the years the paint tends to fade away. Would fill the holes with Bondo but the car isn't going to be painted anytime soon.
