| Im wondering, where can I get some spoiler holes welded and paint matched properly? Also at a reasonable price? |

| Transform Spoilers should be able to do it for you. |

| ^^^ does transform weld now, When I went there before to get holes filled, they said that they couldn't weld them, but they could fibreglass and bondo them. |

Wow a body shop that does not weld??
It is best off to do it yourself, You would be suprised at what some shops charge to fill some holes. |

now that I think about it they might weld, it is just that the holes might have been to small, or not worth while to fill.
I also found that shops tried to charge you out the ass, to weld and bondo 3 1cm holes, and one loonie hole, most shops were quoting me $150-300 without paint |

Transform doesn't weld.
I would do it on my own, but I don't want to overheat the part I am welding and warp it or anything.
Best leave it to the pros. |

Thx for the suggetion, but I need a permanent fix, that is not visible.
Some of the holes are on the 1/4 panel.
I won't be going back to the spoiler, as I will be using a different spoiler. |

| I also think fibreglassing would be the easiest and most effective. lay some glass into the hole from the underside, then from the top side use filler to smoothe everything out, as long as the finner is not to thick, you should have no problems |

That's not that bad at all really, take into consideration that sheetmetal is very thin, no matter how good you are when you weld it will warp a little, a good body shop then pulls the metal back out and makes it as straight as possible. And then of course unless the bodyshop just has a hack mudman working the bondo work must be real smooth to not show any imperfections.
People often underestimate the skill and labor involved in even the most "simple" body work. |
