This next weekend I'm planning on painting my trunk lids black, and probably applying positive side stripes.
What would be a good method for filling in the holes in the rear trunk lid where the bolts for the luggage rack now reside? |

I know you are cheap, and I cant remember if welding is on the menu for you.
One option is to go to Home Depot and get the little stainless steel caps that are used for random holes in sinks....just snap those in and move on...if you ever want to put the luggage rack back on, you can. You could also find some stainless nut certs....its a standoff threaded bung that you can bolt into the hole...again its for future luggage rack usage...and they also come with snap in plugs to keep the threads clean.
