I searched.. Didn't find much technical discussion on it..

Anyways I was contemplating doing this when I get back so I figured I'd do a tech discussion on it.. In theory it sounds fine. Permanently joining two pieces of metal together to prevent them from flexing but in actuality it sounds kinda dumb.. drilling out metal and replacing it with an aluminum piece that in a humid place like Okinawa will more than likely corrode in a year leaving my car filled with corrosion and holes...

Anyone with experience care to share?
