    Alright fellers and fellerettes I need some suggestions. I have this big ol’ hole in my fender. I don’t have the piece I cut out and I really don’t want to make one and color match it. Give me some ideas. Can be serious or not.

    My serious reply: some sort of vent. I haven’t found any that are “flexible” though. It’s not a flat surface so it’ll have be able to conform to a slight curve.

    Not serious (or maybe serious): an R2D2 head like a copilot in an x wing.

    If it makes you feel better I originally had NSFW in the title. But decided against it.
