vinyl isn't a good solution at all.... have it professionally filled in and done properly

not really sure... you can DIY if you're knowledgeable enough or just take it into a body shop and ask

take it to a body place and have it welded
or you can fiberglass it shut but IMO go have it welded shut |

its gonna cost a lot of $$ for someone to do it. my middle hole is covered by a piece of red electrical tape painted 3L2 red. it works but looks like crap up close. I'm also thinking about taking my huge spoiler off but i dont have the $$ to do it right.

I did mine with fiberglass to start with but it just did not hold up well, I had the shop pop the fiberglass out and weld the holes in, its the only way to do it right.

Well for the eclipse I shaved off the horrendous spoiler and now I've just got 4 black screws in the holes, doesn't look too bad if you really want it off but I suggest getting it filled.

I paid around $500 for the four holes to be filled in my trunk from my aluminum wing. That included the price to fix the small dents it was causing, install and paint my new spoiler, and repaint the entire trunk lid.

Only drawback to having it professionally done is that if you decide a month later that you dont really like it....
I took mine off last time I waxed my car and I didnt really like it. If you had a subtle body kit on though like romas it looks real sweet |

Plyr is right WELD it close. All holes(antenna, wipers,etc) should be welded if you have a system or plan on getting a booming sound system. The bass will crack those holes in time. WELD! |
