Wrapping trunk in vinyl, but those darn holes...

So that spoiler/wing had to go and now I have 5 holes (Not 15+ like an STi) bout the size of dimes/nickels. I decided I dont wanna pay for body work and just vinyl the trunk either CF black, matte or a satin color. Anyways, I dont want the holes or the indentation surrounding the holes to show under the vinyl. Anybody out there in the i-club masses have an answer to this? I may just throw lil round stickers on the holes... thoughts?

Good lookin out!

I took out my key latch on my trunk put a round sticker on it, been holding up, but you will see the outline of the sticker.

get some sheet metal cut outs the same size as the holes youre trying to fill and tape them in place from under the deck lid.the vinyl wrap. wont be perfect but is a good $5 solution to having droppy holes

1. Glue a quarter on the underside of the trunk where the hole is (or some other round metal-like material)
2. After the glue sets, fill the holes with silicone
3. Smooth out the silicone till it is level with the trunk (you can remove the excess silicone after it has dried around the hole if needed).
4. Apply vinyl

Not a bad idea... any perticular silicone in mind?
