swap trunks with an LS or go to a junkyard. I got mine after months of searching at a junkyard.

My bad, you guys are just talking about plugging the holes for the wing. I was talking about plugging the hole for the trunk lock. If your going to shave the trunk might as well hit the trunk lock up too
