I was wanting to shave off all my badges. Already removed them and working too get the old adhesive off.
How should I cover the holes? I don't want plugs and I plan to paint it in the near future so I want to cover the holes correctly and the best.
Also, whats up with removing the spoiler? And If I did it would be the same process too cover those holes correct?
Haven't decided if I want to remove the door moldings off yet but I will be removing the rear window squirter.

I have decided to go with 98+ front end and maybe rear as I'll be getting a 2000 soon for parts.

I have a 96 special edition btw and it's green

Weld holes is best solution, but becareful trunk is very thin metal.Bondo will crack over time.
I'll have to get something to practice on as I have hardly welded sheet metal but I know I'll have to turn it way down.
Anything good for the bumper? Needs to be flexible i'm sure.

I would probably go with fiberglass if at all possible, especially if you aren't absolutely sure you can work the welder just right. just my $.02.

Have been welding since highschool. I'm 29, I think I can handle the arc. it's about getting your current and wire speed set correctly as to where your not burning through and your filling in. I am comfortable enuff too do it. It's only I need something too get my welder setup on before I test it out on the car, Not going to just set it up too what I think will work and go at it and end up with some dime size holes.

I was taught in school how too weld and work metal and have been playing with the iron since lol.

I'll take pics before and after
