Question Bondo?

I want to take off the H on my rear hatch, but how can I fill up those two little holes? I've already got the CIVIC and DX shit taken off and it would look nice and clean w/out the H. Flat black = teh win

I've never worked with Bondo or any other body work except the rear lip I screwed on so could somebody give me a quick run-through? Gracias.

Don't stuff the holes full of bondo, the daily vibrations will crack it out, use fiberglass. Stuff it in there, let it dry, smooth it out.

Re: Bondo?

Fiberglass is like paper mache.

Just buy it at your local auto store. Its very easy and self explanitory.

haha. ricochet i always used to think of you as a vet in everything but that comment was wayy to funny. its ok tho, if you haven't worked with fiberglass bfore no biggie. sorry to bust your balls i'll just shut up now


they do have color additives you can mix in with the resin but they don't work for crap--so i've heard. so you will have to find a way to paint it after you have sanded, primered, sanded

Re: Bondo?

You'll have to have it painted. Take it to a shop to have it done... they'll paint a patch over the holes and filler to cover.. blend it outward, and clear coat the entire trunk. Its going to cost you money. Thats why most people de-badge their cars, but leave the Honda emblem.
