Re: turbo wing replacement.

the only way to plug the holes from your old wing is to either tape over them or slather some body filler over them, or if you're metalically inclined, spot weld them with a tiny peice of scrap and then grind it down.

yea but i want to make it look nice so it can sell faster. I have dents on a fender and bought one offline painted and gonna put it on. so gonna get a new radio turbo wing and fender and no one will have problems buying it. They complained about the dents and the sorry stereo i had in there. so hopefully that's all im gonna need in order to sell it.

Re: turbo wing replacement.

I guess it would depend on the shop. Right now I have my '97 RS getting the hood, right fender, and bumper painted and getting some little dents fixed and I'm getting charged over $2300 just for that. Good thing I only have to end up paying $300

For a job like yours it shouldn't be more than a couple hundred bucks.
