    Euro Plate filler install

    Take off your plate



    Remove the white screws





    Align the plate filler how you want it, and come from the backside (in the trunk) and mark where you'll need to drill



    Marks:



    Holes drilled



    While it's out, file down the section where the trunk lid opener handle cylinder thing is, so it will clear it



    Throw away the old screws, and get some nuts and bolts



    Put some foam/towels behind the filler so there aren't any rattles ;)



    Align the plate filler and put on the bottom 2 bolts (my plate frame only has 2 holes)



    Put on the plate...and it's done!

    Dude, I know you said you dad knows how to weld but I will tell you that those weld are garbage. First off, you didnt weld it all the way around which amplifies the likelihood of a crack or fissure to form; Secondly, The welds arent penetrating deep enough; lastly, they dont even look good. LOL. No offense, I really respect you for trying to tackle anything and everything by yourself, but in this case, you need to fix the welds asap. If you are ever down in the inland empire, Stop by and Ill reweld those for you properly for free.
    Thank you for your concern. I'll work on it.
