OK SO the spoiler i have now is a big screw up. i NEED to take it off but there are holes on the trunk from the drillin they had to do for puttin the wing on. What can i do to fill in the holes and not make it look weird. or where can i get a new trunk?

 

Well you could have your trunk patched and repainted or buy a new trunk the same color... probably work out to the same price if they were just painting where it is patched. But you may get lucky and score a trunk for cheap at a junk yard. Just go to car-part.com

 

I would have it redone, although I still have to take those measurements for you, the likelihood of the holes lining up is pretty slim.

 

theres always bondo..but then you have to do a super clean job not to be able to see where you bondo'd it...i would just buy a new trunk lid...its a bit of a search but im sure if you look in the black market youll find people parting theyre cars..

 

thanx guys imma check up on that...

so i go to Maaco this morning and he told me that he will remove the spoiler and redo the entire trunk lid for 235. it would of been cheaper its jus that my color is triple coated. i wish my car was black instead...=(

 

What color is your car that it's a 3-stage paint?

 

Primrose?

 

if you do happen to go to maaco, make sure that price includes prep (ie: sanding) because if not they will just spray right over the existing paint.

 

Good point, also make sure they will guarantee a factory match with clear coat and all. Are they gonna install the new wing for you as well or are u just going spoilerless?

 

AFAIK, the only three stage paints Honda/Acura used in 1997-1999 were Milano Red, Premium White Pearl, and White Diamond Pearl.

 

They do call it a "maaco paint job" for a reason. There infamous for the orange peel effect and the color being off. I'd go with a private body shop if i was you. And you'll get what you pay for

 

yeah i knw wha u guys mean...and its also Inza red well...but im goin spoilerless as far as im concerned. but im goin to look into a privated owned body shop....

 

now it makes sense. I went to maaco to get my lip kit painted and it came out a bit too dark. They said "its because the paint is new" and i actually believed them.
