Bondo would be a terrible idea. If you hit a bump hard enough the Bondo would probably crack and the hole lip would fall off. I started a project doing this. But what I did was get a large peice of styrafoam. And then shaved it down to the exact shape I wanted. In this case it was a replica of the hd lip. Then layed fiber glass over it. It was very light weight and felt solid. I sold it though before I. Finished. I'm going to be doing another though so ill make a thread.

^ I didn't do the work, my paint guy did
what about if you bolt it in first to make sure it's nice and secure ?
thats what my paint guy did, he bolted the spoiler on for a nice tight fit before molding it.

Because you won't find one for cheap. You are better off getting the pre-molded trunk because it will come out cheaper and be less of hassleOriginally Posted by greek2003g35
