Need help!How to repair holes from old spoiler..

Just took off my old 3 piece spoiler and am trying to put on the high-rise tail. Any suggestions on how to fill up the holes from the old spoiler?

Weld them, and grind them smooth. If you want to make it fast, just bondo over em.

yea if you want it fast use bondo, if you want it to last weld it. thats what i did when i put mine on. i welded little round pieces of metal to it then grinded it down. i actually put the round peices on from the inside of the car though, not laid on top.

maybe atleast fill the holes with JB weld or something because bondo will probably crack over the first bump.

Good idea, I might do that if this doesn't work very well. I know i will have it welded before i really get the car painted, this is just for i can put in the new tail and to look sharp in the mean time
