    Holes smoothed but still with a recess.

    Id go totally smooth, just smoothing the hole makes it look like a wiper motor should be there... if you get me.

    Re: Smoother engine bay..

    Yeah i do, thats what i was thinking, just didnt wanna smooth it then find it looked like a huge bit of space... Like a smoothed nova boot. To much nothing looks odd if you get me.

    Re: Smoother engine bay..

    Dont see the point, tbh. Plate the recess then lightly skim with a flexable fiber glass and then filler to be smooth.
