Ha! You guys crack me up. You need something in there that's metal if you want it too last. My fiberglass one came without any holes, not even the key or shock mounts, but between that and being lazy I didn't put the spoiler on.

You need to weld like washers or something in there, then kitty hair(fine fibergalss filler), body filler, smoothy, primer, paint, done.

JBWeld a piece of metal underneath to cover the hole and just smooth it out with bondo on the surface

good tip: if you clamp a peice of copper on the underside, you can weld the hole shut becuase it will not weld to the copper. then you can grind it down or do it again or whatever you need.

Get a waterproof water cover and cover the car, make hole tru the windscreen so you can see where to drive and drive to the shop and weld it with a piece of metal and smooth it out on top.or just duck tape it from the inside and drive down to the shop, they shold not charge you $20 to weld the hole for you.
