bondo is fine on the holes but i would look into geting them welded shut. bondo has been known to fall out after a while. As for the side skirts, yea they can be painted, yea you need to do more than just paint them. You need to sand them a little then primer then paint. The grill you can just buy some aluminum screen at Home Depot and do it your self.
you have to take off the front bumper to make the install clean. BTW nice color.

If you mean the side moldings that run across the door and the rear quarter you can remove them your self easily. I did all the body shaving on my teg and its fine.One caution when removing them they are on clips be gentle the metal there is easily bent and you get an outward bend and that is a mega pain to fix. If you need any more help let me know ill give you a step by step guide. plus there are a couple ways you can do it. Hopefully that will help.
