I am in the process of replacing the standard wing that came on a 91 Firebird with a high rise Z-28 spoiler. I know that I am going to have to drill new holes for the new spoiler and fill the old holes, but what is the best way to do it?

I have seen quite a few cars on here where this type of thing has been done, but haven't seen how it's done? Weld pieces of metal into the old holes? How do you make it look the best? Any advice from anyone would be appreciated!

 

weld plugs in, grind them smooth, and then if necessary, a skim coat of filler to make it perfect.

 

I do it the easy way and just bondo it. I totalled my old car (front passenger side hit to the fender) and the bondo held up and still wasn't noticeable. I did it to my decklid third brake light holes and for my antenna to my new car.

 

I bondo'd the spoiler holes on my GTA too, but he asked for the best way.

If you do choose to bondo it, beat the holes down a little bit so that you have a "dent" instead of just a flat hole. You need to have the "dent" so that the bondo can stick to something. If you just try to bondo the actual hole, it'll fall out, but if you beat it in a little bit around the hole, it'll have somewhere to grab onto. Make sense?

 

Definietly just weld it shut. Might as well just do it right the first time.

 

I just got done doing mine. What i did was weld them shut, grind, spread fiberglass bondo over the wholes , sand, and then finally bondo it and prime it and wet sand it. Now it looks like a lid off a 91-92 z28

 

Awsome, thanks guys. Now I just have to find someone with a welder!
