spoiler delete questions..

so, i'm gettin ready to slap on my sportline drop springs, and with the lowered look, i defintely wanna make it look slick by taking the spoiler off... my question to all of you is,, i mean,, may sound kinda dumb to ask, but where can i get some caps or something to put in the bolt holes after i take the thing off ??? i dont wanna put tape over it, or fill it in with crappy bondo, so, what are some detailed options for me?

Make your life easy and just find someone with a wingless trunk so you don't have to deal with all of that cap ****. Chances are you won't be satisfied with how it looks, plus the holes are all weird and it would be nearly impossible to find plugs for the hole thing unless you make some yourself. I literally just went up to some random person and asked if they would mind trading trunks with me and they said sure.

Go to a junkyard and pick up a wingless trunk.

Make them yourself? autozone has plugs all you need is four and they cover the holes nicely and you dont notice them really. Did you even look for them?

There are 6 holes total in your trunk when you take the wing off if I'm not mistaken. 4 of which are those weird curve shaped ones. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe there are plugs that cover them all, however I know it would drive me nuts just having covers on them, but thats just me. So no, I never bothered to even look for any because I knew that I didn't want that haha.

Make your life easy? There is nothing easy about finding someone to give up a wingless trunk these days

I have the dealer trading trunks with me for the one without a wing. I hate the low-rise. I want wingless badly.

I just took my wing off and had some extra vinyl for making decals lying around. I just cut two but squares and stuck them over the holes for now until I get the trunk welded and re-painted...

my trunk has those funny hotdog shaped holes too. autozone has plugs that are big enough for those. I decided not to trade trunks just in case i would want to put my spoiler back on. Some times like alot of members, you get tired of one look and then you wanna chage it up a bit.
