Default Covering trunk spoiler holes?

I removed my oem trunk spoiler today to see what it would like like w/o it. Guess what? I like it but the only problem is I don't know what to cover the holes with. I'm afraid that when it rains it's gonna get in my trunk. By the way I bought the car used and it already had the spoiler on. Any ideas guys? Thanks.

Well there aren't too many options...If you want to go ghetto style you can use some small round stickers for the time being. Otherwise you'll have to get them filled and then have hte trunk repainted and all of that trouble. Another option is trying to find someone local to you who doesn't have a wing and doa trunk swap. You may be able to ask for some cash on top of the swap.

Welcome to MY world!

Trunk Swap is the easiest but hard to find. Even harder since you have a NFR.

A "decent" patch, sand and repaint of the holes will run you about
$400-$500. That's without any overspray to the fenders for a color match and with red you better get it matched.

Please don't go "Ghetto"...........put your spoiler back on till you can do it right.

JMO...

I went with a CF trunk that's nice and clean....no holes...............YET!

I would think a lot of people would be willing to take theat wing off your hands or trunk swap. I would if you were local and it was the right color

Agreed......

I've also seen OEM trunks warped cause of CF spoilers.

Guess I'll have to wait and see how much downforce the ING's puts out.

Any idea on a good way to reinforce underneath?
