Sand.

I think it's ready for a coat of primer, the final block sanding will be done after it's bonded into the car.

I'm going to bond it with 3M 08690 windshield urethane (similar to the OEM adhesive) with the 08682 primer.  After the glue hardens, I'm going to remove the bolts and weld the holes shut.  I'm also going to weld the insert in place, that's what all the tabs around the edge are for.
