#1 wrong area to post this. It needs to be posted in the Exterior posting

#2 Try search under "Spoiler", Bodywork, fixing holes,

However I can still help ya. With the spoiler off grab some sandpaper 120grit. Sand around the holes about 1" to 2" see if you can duct tape the back of the holes. Run a thin coat of Dyna-glass (Bond/fibreglass) it's green in color @ pep boys, walmart canadian tire auto parts store etc sand the dyna -glass down with a sanding block clean the area tape off the rest of the area you don't want to prime or paint. Prime the sanded area with filler primer 3 light coats let it dry sand that down see if theres and more priming to do if so repeat ..if not paint it the color that you want and clear coat if needed

WELD WELD WELD. never fill holes with body filler it will eventually collapse and leave little dents where the holes were.



simple minds talk about other people.
average minds talk about events.
great minds discuss ideas

Yes have it spot welded at a bodyshop but then again "He" wanted to fix it so unless you have a welder or feel like running out to buy a welder for four 1/4 inch holes Then using "dyna glass" not body filler will solve the problem of any collapse or cracking
