1) Take plastic piece off 2) Weld metal piece in 3) Fill imperfections 4) Paint 5) Enjoy

i was contemplating shaving the trunk. of course i have a 91 se so my plastic instert is somewhat attractive (black). i saw it done on that one guy's car he hooked up for his daughter but i have to say, i didn't like how it looked, course it's probably because i didn't like the color he painted the car. made me think twice about shaving the trunk though.
