Default remodeling my 350

hi guys. I haven't gone on here much due to my new r6 . I finally scrapped up some cash to finally redo my non fitting rear seibon lip. I just bought a used bumper so i can modify the bumper without messing up my own.

I'm also redoing the front, but my question is who had the GFX front lip hole covered up? Did you guys just bondo it or have something in the back to reinforce it?

Thanks

INGS front is too low and will scrape crazy. I might go with the fab front lip.

Anybody know if a Wald front lip would cover up the holes from the GFX lip? Considering going Wald, but don't know yet.

It's under construction right now. It's the black one.



To get back onto topic, is it possible for me to just super glue something behind the GFX hole, and bondo over it? Think it will be strong enough? Or should i use resin on the back?
