holes on the quarte panel from the spoiler

[myeclipseisnicer]

ok guys this is the deal i have the 97 gs spyder with the 3 pc wing, im taking that off to put a new wing on, now my new wing will just cover the trunk of course and my quarter panel where the holes are at will be exposed, now my car is black, so it wont be as bad as this car in the pic and clear color cars, so i dont have much money on me to cover the 5 holes on each side and then paint both of the panels, what can i use to cover them? my retarded uncle said to put the furniture screw sticker covers in black lol, not a bad idea, what u think? thanks guys

I know someone who uses electrical tape

[myeclipseisnicer]

so should i cover it with one of those? which one should i do? electrical tape? or the black wood furiniture screw cover sticker?

Either will work ok, but only as a short-term fix; If you leave it like that, not only will it look crap & spoil the effect of your new wing, but you run the risk of ;leaking water into your bodywork & damaging whatever is behind that panel [electrical cables etc].

I'd say stick a bit of electrical tape over it, but save up to get it welded/repainted ASAP

thanks

I'd use red electrical tape.. You won't even notice it unless you come up close.

[myeclipseisnicer]

mmmm sounds like a good plan

If your car is BLACK [as you said in your first post] use BLACK electrical tape - I think 95 Eclipse thought it was a picture of your car you showed above

[myeclipseisnicer]

yea my car is black, the pic i showed in the first post is a pic some guy showed me here to let me know theres holes under that 3rd piece

[95EcLiPsEgSx]

oh, sorry guys. I read it too quick and saw the picture, so I assume that it was a red car... My bad..

[eclipseracer92]

you could just fill the holes with bondo or sumthing dont use tape or those lil screw colors you were talking about bondo will work just fine and wont leak.

[myeclipseisnicer]

yeah i know but bondo u have to paint and sand

[EclipsNgirl]

If you bondo (they're only tiny little holes)...sand a little, then buy some of that import spray paint that matches the color of your car. It's cheap and at least it won't leak....it will be a nice fix until you can get the entire quarter panel painted if needed. I've seen a lot of people use it and it's perfectly matched to the color of your car....

got it, thanks alot, sounds good, i know what u mean now, im gonna go at it on sat, now imma fix my window rattling lol. take care

if i were you i would find a friend with a MIG welder. sand all the paint off around the holes, CAREFULLY MIG the holes in(making sure the welder isn't to "hot" thus making the hole larger, when you weld it build it up from the outside edge in so when you grind it the weld wont fall through and make larger hole once again) and Grind them flush, if you or a friend do not have access to welder/or lack of experience, i am sure a shop would do it for $50-$100. then through some bondo on it sand it smooth to your bodylines. then spray it with that import paint you were talking about, untill you can get the quarter panels repainted.
