So as the title states, has anybody tryed Shaving their trunk (debadging and removing and filling keyhole)

I bought a 01 Galaxy Silver GT, and I would like to see pictures of what the trunk looks like(shaved) if i make up my mind after seeing pictures of the turnout, i'll be shaving mine shortly, and i'll be making a DIY on the subject.

pictures, and links greatly appreciated, thanks a bunch
 


Only one keyhole (drivers door) on 06+ GP from the factory so check out one of them for an idea of what it looks like.

or this

SE/daytona spoiler

remove the lock. grind away paint, make round patch, weld in, marglass over the weld area, sand straight, primer, paint, clear
 
This is what he meant by 06+ having no keyhole... This is my 08 debadged and what not.

This is the only decent pic I have. God that spoiler is bad lol, thank god for GXP spoiler lol

marglass is a fiber glass reinforced bondo that goes over weld joints and is water proof. if you put normal bondo over the area it might crack down the road.
 
okay, thanks a bunch
now for the paint, would it be wise to go to the dealership and buy a can of factory match silver?? or (cause that sh*ts likely pretty expensive for a relativly cheap mod)
 


if you buy a spray bomb thats "matched" it wont be matched, not sure what your color is but if its white or black you could get a single stage paint for significantly cheaper. depending what spoiler you end up running you could keep your paint line under the spoiler to reduce cost or matte black out that section.

also with the SE/daytona spoiler you would havet o fill all the holes from the stock spoiler and drill 3 new holes.
 
I did both shave keyhole and put on a 40th spoiler and I would second not useing bondo over thr welds it will crack after like a week, use fiberglass body filler.
