Me personally like it nice and smooth. You can try a type of filler and touch-up paint, perhaps.

If you are having it painted, the shop can weld up the holes and smooth it out.

Re: Keep or get rid?

Toss it...and get rid of the rear window one while you're at it too. I've never seen anything that looks like that on any car that someone has tried to pass off as a spoiler. It looks more like half of a front end protector or a miniature bug guard for a truck.

Wouldn't worry about the holes either...looks like you've already got a big one in the roof
