I see a lot of pics of fox bodies with smoothed out engine compartments are these replacements or do guys actually fill in all the holes either way were do I get replacements or how do I fill them in.

Get duct tape and stick it on the inner fender side then a touch of body fill........done. Another neat idea that works is just put rubber grommets in the holes or even small bolts, torx head bolts or screws look real cool.

what about the sheet metal flexing and vibrating? wouldn't that work the bondo out of the holes considering how small they are? Welding is permanent and not as messy
