A Couple o' Questions

[Deoxyribonucleicvitriol]

Got my new car recently ;)

So I get my car home, and screw off that dealer plate... only to figure out... I'm not unscrewing it from standard pre-made holes... I'm unscrewing it from my ground effects which they SCREWED IT INTO ARRRRGGG... It's not THAT big of a deal but you'd think they could be a bit more creative with their front plate than that.

#1. What should I use to fill those holes?... Just use puddey and touch-up paint or what?

#2. When I took off the front plate-holder thing... and cleaned the mud off from where it had gotten under, I noticed that there was a noticable difference between where the plate backing had been, and the surrounding paint. I ran my finger across it, it felt like tar or something. How can I get this off? Will clay bar get it all? I plan on ordering the Zaino kit today.

My bro suggested black silicone (mah car is black), but I know you can't paint silicone, so I don't want to put it in there, then find that it looks bad and be in a fix since I can't paint over it.

Anyone?.... It seems like someone on here must've had this problem or something similar.

i'd just fill the holes in with bondo or something like that...sand it smooth...and paint over them...i had to do this when i removed the front section of rksport's kit...as far as that tar-like stuff...im not sure...try goo-gone?

WD40 works but I'm not sure how bad it is for your paint(for the tar stuff).

On the other, bondo and paint.

k, thanks! I don't think goo gone will get tar... I guess I could try, but I'm claybarring my car soon and hopefully that will get it all. If if somehow doesn't get it all I'll try alternative solutions.
