Stickers over the bolt holes? WTF? Go to lowes and get all purpose wood filler and stick in them for now, you can fix it later but stickers wont hold up more than a few days.
i know one of the guys on here has em and they seem to work pretty good...just like racing stripe vinyl...that seems to hold up pretty well...i just dont have a clue where to get the good automotive grade stuff...it'll be a close enough match for now im not really expecting it to look great but at least the holes will be covered up
how about this ? you think that would work ........i might just try that

I'm trying to pull the high-rise wing off my car, but it looks like there's more holding it on than the 4 bolts. I want to be sure I know what I'm getting into before I start really yanking on the thing. I'm assuming there's some kind of sealant between the wing and trunk lid, either a water barrier or vibration isolation. Is there any easy way to get the wing off without damaging anything? If it's going to be a big deal or change anything permanently I'll live with it, but I'd like to go wingless, especially since at least for me the wing is exactly the same height as a light bar on a Crown Victoria in the rearview mirror!

I took my wing off!
Ya when you take a wing off there is more then 4 holes! but the kicker is the rubber that surrounds and water prrofs the attachment area
If your not careful you will have the out line of said area and it will show on your paint regardless.
Now I did the el cheapo job by using plastic plugs, the ones that you will find on the black blanket that is found on the inside of your hood. They ussually keep fabric etc attached. Now the only issue with them is that you have to colour match and cover all of the holes but there big and well 3 outta 4 outta sized plugs would look odd.. Sorry no pics
I would try to find someone that will swap trunks or safe your money and get the holes welded over but then that requires your trunk to be completely repainted which can be expensive due to what the welding does to the rest of the medal and paint
