How much did you pay to fill in and paint over the holes on the trunk lid? I'm trying to compare estimates.. Thanks in advance

depends on how much they're painting and what color paint. some people might just paint over the holes and other people paint the hole and blend the surrounding paint so its harder to see the different paints. and then some people might paint the whole trunk. so it depends on what exactly theyre doing. also certain paints, like starfire pearl, are harder to match so they might charge more.

What he ^^ said. I got it done while my spoiler was being molded on. So it's hard to say. 100 sounds cheap to me

Bro....are you serious?? $100....you're complaining about that?? I'll give you the money if that's too much for you!! How bad do you want them covered? All up to you! I had my whole trunk resprayed when I molded my Wald wing. So that was a lot cause I repainted my entire rear quarter panels. Save up, if it's too much!

I just wanted a price check really. I gave him the okay Thursday and it should be done tomorrow or Wednesday but it was my only estimate so I wanted to check. Not complaining.

Is it me or are you riding on 50% of your rear tire? It doesn't look like your whole rear tire is on the ground...

That wald molded trunk is s*x

My camber is pretty crazy slamming 20's. I'm gonna go with the Figs Mega arms to correct the insane camber. Thanks for the props on my Wald.
