TJ's was functional though, thats just a plug

[Mr Deagle]

hmmm, i dont want a functioning one. I just wanted to take out some weight. How do i install it and seal it? Someone told me to use silicone and then rivets. But what kind of silicone (where do i get it and what is it called) and do i have to use rivets?

Whoopsies, my bad.

so how do i install seal and secure this cf plug in there? i heard silicone promotes rust...so what do i do to prevent that?

[nando]

don't use sillicone!!! it will cause rust. use some autobody seam sealer instead.

where do i get that? how do i use it?

[biglar]

ok i ordered some 3m flexiclear body seam sealer. is that all i need to secure the plug? do i need anything else?

you need to use that AND rivets. and dont cheap out on the rivets, get some nice stainless ones.

There are products that are made to bond body panels together, not just fill seems. I suggest using that if you don't want to see rivets.

Fusor is one brand I know of.
