Also, I finally got rims!! They are Rota something or other (yes I know...I know...) but they were cheap and the size isn't bad. They are 16x8 +32 all around. (Better then 16x7 16x8 stagger and better then 17x7 +42 Honda rims! lol) I'm ganna put some spacers, slam the car and it'll look good. The tire on there now are Falkens FK-451 205/50R16 all around, but the rears are almost done so I'm ganna get some 225/50R16 but I dunno what brand tho.

looks nice

how do you plan to fill the holes

throw a peice of brass on the back and plug weld? (at least I think that's how your supposed to do that)

I have used this stuff called cat hair that works real good
its like fiberglass bondo

or I guess you could fiberglass over them
sry i'm kinda new to bodywork

I used kitty hair and those little fenced wires to fill the holes when I removed the wing, no problems.
Make sure you use gloves with kitty har :)

In the other thread about this I said I was ganna put some fiberglass on the under side and then fill the holes with bondo. I think welding stuff is a little over my level. lol
