   if you mean where the vtr or vts badges fit dont use normal filler it will sink in time to come ....ive used plastic filler and fiber glass mix for the filling . and use the plastic filler to finish it off hope that helps

   all you have to do is take your time .....last of all dont think fuck it that will do ...bodywork is 90 percent prep if thats wrong well the finish speaks for its self .
