Just curious, I've got some fiberglass mat and resin. Can this be used to fill in the letters then skim it with filler? Would this method be stronger and longer lasting? Thanks.

climb in the hatch and unbolt the latch assembly i suppose. I've owned two different f-bodys and never had a problem with the trunk opening actuator.

doesn't seem like a common issue either, one car being a 95 and the other being a 97. that's a 15 and 13 year old car not having any issues with it.

i guess well just have to see if the problem ever arises.

They make a special body filler just for things such as the bumpers on camaros. You just have to scuff it, and mix it according to directions, and apply just like you would apply normal body filler. I've used it numerous times on camaros at the body shop i work at to fix scratches on the bumpers. Also on the SS bumper cover of an SS silverado. It works great.

Duraglass works great and is alot stronger. I would recommend staying far away from any Bondo products.

Agreed. Bondo is best for metal, that's what its made to adhere to.

I know I hate it. I hate Berger panels period. Taking away preprinted indented letters is making your car more generic IMO. I personally like the rear of our cars stock, tipless is even better, and with stainless fill-ins is even better.

Yeah the only reason i did mine was for the 69 Z28 badge to sit center. Otherwise me and a few others agree it would look too plain.
