My 75 came with a rear PORSCHE reflector. I would like to go back to stock. What is the best way to plug the giant holes? Replace the whole rear panel?
Thanks in advance for the help!! |

A good welder can fill the holes and make them invisable. No patch panel needed. Had it done on mine.

A good welder can fill the holes and make them invisable. No patch panel needed. Had it done on mine. ^ Likewise. Had the same done with the last paint job with no patch panel, and you can't tell the car ever had a PORSCHE reflector. Wasn't a lot of money in the scheme of things, particularly since we were doing the whole car. For those who aren't, the nice thing about that panel is that it's "topped" by the trunk lid, "sided" by the taillights, and "edged" at the bottom (and then what's below that is nearly covered by the bumper top)—so it's about as easy as blends get. |
