Covering widebody holes?
Hey guys, I have rocketbunny v1 fenders, Wanting to switch up to a new widebody. And I want to weld and paint match the existing holes. Wondering how much that would cost? Would it be an arm and a leg? if you have any experiences on this or been through it! please let me know! Thank you

I suggest you stop by a couple body shops and get some estimates. (it will be about twice as much as you think it should be) OR, just stuff plugs in the holes and call it a "new look" .....  humfrz |

I doubt you'll even find a shop that wants to take on the task, welding all those holes.. your going to be creating a lot of heat/ warping on your panels
"Wanting to switch up to a new widebody" Get a new kit that covers the existing holes |

Wouldn't it be easier (and probably less costly) to just replace the fenders?
