oh waste of time man, he shouldn't of filled it.
if you want to keep the original you gotta weld the wholes and respray the bootlid.

i've got grommets in there for now to see if i like the look.
if im happy with it still in a few months ill get it welded and sprayed.

im a big fan of no spoilers.

i have to raise the front, having too much trouble steering around corners and clipping the guards.

yeh, i can see how you'd have clearance problems on the front. she does sit a bit low. Looks good yes, but not that practical i suppose. the typhoons are 19's yes?
