Ugh, Uhaul......


Anyways, what's the best way to patch up some holes and where do I get the stuff? Some are small screw holes, but what about the larger stock gaps?

if you want a profesisonal look on filing the holes just tack and weld on some sheet metal. sand it down, even it out with some bondo, then primer. then i would paint it. i wouldn't do truck bedliner in the engine bay only because sure its tough but when it gets too hot it smells and start to come off. its meant to be tough but not deal with high heat applications. if it was on the exhaust then yeah sure cause that wont come into the cabin, it will just be outside but from the engine bay your cabin will smell. you dont even need a profesisonal to do it. get yourself a cheap spray gun for like outside work and mix up some paint to match the car. thats what i did when i painted the accent myself. it came out pretty good too. but my engine bay is all disgusting again. i need to clean it as soon as this snow stops

+1 on the bedliner stuff...make a good finish and makes a great worksurface to put tools onto. Hyunshark over on RDT has the same color as your car and his looks great, i dont believe he took the engine out either...not sure. but anyway it would be super easy for you

Yea, that's what I'm leaning towards cause it sounds the easiest. I'm not entering any shows, and I work on my Tib a lot, so I know the bay might get scratched again.

Like textured rhino liner? I can see a lot of cut up knuckles while doing work. Food for thought.
