which is what im saying. for less than 20 bucks its not bad. and could be better pretty easily.

 

then you went to the wrong shop man.. lol.. and the price i said.. if you read my post.. was if YOU fill the holes.. basically doing just what you did.. plus a little more.. then just have them paint it.. if you just took them the car and said "fix it!"... yea.. i can see them charging $300.. but thats not what i suggested.

..and I don't know people like you that would be satisfied with a half-assed job.. I hang around people that take pride in what they do


its bad for any amount of money.. i don't care if you got it done for free.. it still looks bad.. you were on the right track.. you just skipped a bunch of steps and went right to the paint

 

oh i dident see that part. i also said i suck at painting and i did think about sanding filling and painting i just dident feel like it. maybe in the summer when i have some more time. this was also sorta a quick fix with winter coming i cant have holes lol.

and dont assume that about me im honestly a perfectionist, but when it comes to the car somethings just arent worth it to me. id rather pick up a set of pedders for 300 than Properly fill and paint my holes.

 

I did this about a year ago with quicksteel. It looks terrible but I was really doing it as an experiment to see if the quicksteel would hold up. After a year or heat and extreme cold I was going to make a how to thread. But uhh.... The OPs is way better lol. The quicksteel has been proven to be very effective and wont fall out if put on right.

I agree with not wanting to spend 2-300 for someone to weld and paint it. But then again the clear coat on my car is terrible and I really dont give a **** what it looks like. I'll be at 100kmi by February and my car in now worth HALF of what I owe! YIPEEE!

 

FINALLY...thanks so much

 

i just put electrical tape over my holes for now till i can afford to get it done profesionally. but my cars black so its not too noticeable!

 

take the trunk to a Vocational high school, they do work for the cost or parts/supplies! and they do a good job.

 

hopefully no one follows this how-to, because that looks terrible

 

Your mom looks terrible.

 

not as terrible as this trunk

 

ewwwwwwwww

 

you guys are a bunch of whiny bitches. dont like it dont do it and shut up. if some people like it they will do it leave it the **** alone.

 

last time i checked this was a public forum and we are in america, which means we can say whatever we want. stop being cheap and do this the right way. you can live with the wing for a little while longer as opposed to doing this insanely cheap ass mod.

 

i wasent really refering to you in particular but yea you can say what you want. but i just cant justify spending that much money on something like that.

maybe some people that cant stand the slightest imperfection cant stand my mod but for as far as keeping water out and keeping money in my pocket its great.


not to mention if any one botherd reading i said i blow at painting if your better it will look better. not to complex. better than those fat plugs that some people use that sick out like a sore thumb

 

i really think everyone need to leave him alone i think it doesnt really look that bad when you see it up close. it looks a hell of a lot better then those stupid plugs people use for that and the front plates. i mean really he even said he was not that good at it and if you were better it would look better

 

thanks dude.

i mean everyones entitled to their opinion but i nkow 80% of the comments are just looking at the pics not reading so oh well.....

 

yeah dont let it bother you. i think it looks alot better in person but man you got a pretty damn close up on that and thats what makes it look bad

 

haha.. you're the one being a whiny bitch man.. you cut corners and did a crappy job.. and people are calling you on it.. simple as that.. i looked at the pictures and read every word.. how it looks was not because of the paint.. it was because of the lack of prep work.. had you spent more time and taken a few more (cheap) steps preparing the holes you filled.. even with your "bad paint skills" you could have made it look a lot better for an extra $20(max)... so just relax with being so defensive..


you spent $20 on what you did... save up for a few months.. do the steps I told you.. and get it done RIGHT for about $100..


that is a LOT more than a slight imperfection.. its an eyesore..


..if it doesn't look good up close.. it doesn't look good at all..

 

I agree wit everything he said above ^

 

For what it is I think it looks fine. I've been wanting to remove my spoiler for a while now.

 

cutting a filler from steel and welding em up with light body filler is the only REAL way to do this or any other shaving.

 

With a little more sanding and prep work you could make that $20 job you did look like any $300 job easily. Just takes more prep and finish work, sanding the putty to make it flush with the trunk etc. Should have taped the bottom and applied putty on top with a putty knife..

good starting write up though!

 

Not bad for 20 bucks!

 

I should have read this before I went and royally jacked up my Deck Lid -.-
