All I gotta say is cover/weld/patch all of those ugly holes that come from the factory

Do it right and weld all the holes closed. Bondo is NOT an acceptable alternative.

I can send you pics of mine. I need this and wire tucked at the same time. Honestly its pretty fun to do. I also used scotts. And I cut out. A hole for the cold air intake.

ive done a few with the scott's parts and take your time fitting them. you are gonna have to put a small tac on the back side dead center of the panel, if not it will vibrate and crack the paint

Take your time welding them, and sanding them down, do a few little welds (no more than a half inch) and then hit them with a cool rag, dont let the heat travel to far, there shit is this and will warp in a second
