Shhhhhhhhh I used electrical tape on my gsr cuz it had some dumb spoiler on it when I bought it (but it fit in the stock holes thank god), I finally found a spoiler but it was black (my car is white) looks a lot better than black tape all over the back.

theres that button or switch to raise your antenna halfway. it was on one of those JDM sites that you guys drool over all the time lol. i thought it was pretty cool though because i thought the same about my antenna... until it broke. now it just stays down because i unplugged the motor. no radio though. oh well.

sorry for getting off subject

You'll have to start by denting in the holes slightly. You'll want the sharp edges of the holes to be slightly lower than the surrounding metal. You can just use a tapered punch on the small holes. For spoiler sized holes place the ball end of a ball peen hammer in the hole and gently tap with another hammer

Then get some fiberglas cloth and cut it to size slightly larger than the hole.

Clean the backside of the hole thoroughly with brake cleaner

Put on your rubber gloves and dip the fiberglas cloth bits in the resin and hardener mixture. Apply to the backside of the hole smooth out as much as possible in the short time it takes to cure.

Let cure thoroughly. When hardened mix up your DynaLite and hardener and use plastic applicator to make fill flush.

Sand. If you applied well you can pretty much go straight to the 600 grit.

Prime and paint.
