Well my baby is gone (06' red ss/sc)a old guy ran a redlight and plowed into the passenger side and caved it in.Poor car.I'd post pics but my phone flew across the car and hit the windshield and messed up.But i'm going to pick up a 06' Orange SS/SC this weekend and I was just wondering whats the easiest way to plug up the wing holes when I take the wing off but to where I could always put it back on if I want?

 

you could just get some carriage bolts and unbolt the wing and put those in, obviously the rounded head flush on the trunk then just clean off the tape/blemishes and paint the heads of the bolts if you want. or go to a shady high-powered car wash

 

I thought the wing had a weird looking hold where it mounts to the trunk?Looks kinda like a U

 

you can pay $300 to have them filled and repainted or u can buy the little plastic plugs from autozone

 

when I took my wing off i put black vinyl over the holes until i had the money to get my trunk welded and repainted

 

Which plastic plugs?Like the ones they use for door panels and stuff?How was it to get it welded and repainted?

 

i paid 250 to get the trunk holes welded and the lock welded and the whole thing re-painted.

 

Does the LS come in that orange? If so, a trunk swap would be simple

 

That aint bad.Mine'd prolly cost more because its that metallic orange though don't you think?

 

go CF?...

 

just let somebody rear end you in that one too so you'll have to get a new trunklid. i'm just kidding just get the plastic plugs from autozone and paint to match.

 

Yes there are orange LS.

 

lol thats what i did for the front licence plate mount. I had one but wasnt in a province that requires it, wanted to take the mount off but didnt know what to do about the holes. That same week i got into a accident and the women that hit me, her insurence company paid for a new front bumper with no plate mount. Long with a stock h/e that had a small leak in it, due to the accident the leak got worse and they replaced that too. Accidents work wonders when u want something new on the car...lol.

 

The color Red is the most expensive paint to buy per oz. Its all about how many pigments go into your color. Black and White are the cheapest.

That Orange is probably going to be right around the Red. I pay right around $80/qt for the Vic Red.

I did my buddys WRX for about $20. Some extra metal, sand paper, a couple OZ of prime,base,clear.

Unless you have a shop to do the welds and repaint the trunk, its not a cheap mod. Even though its seriously a couple little holes.

 

If your insurance has a forgivable first claim just rip the wing off and claim it under vandalism!! LOL (Don't really do it... it's fraud)

 

money money money money money........ everyone talks about how MUCH. Why not find someone to swap trunks with you!

 

They're alot of ppl looking to go wingless right now... Good Luck.
