temporary wingless?

ive been doing some searching and so far no luck. im trying to find some sort of a plug that i can block off the holes in the trunk. i want to go wingless but i know as much as i change my mind ill probly want to go back at some point so i figured it would be a good solution to find some plugs and have them color matched.

any input is appreciated guys, thanks

Just measure the size of the holes and go up to Ace hardware or whatever local hardware store you have and pick up some plastic caps in the same size. I'm about to do this myself because I hate the lowrise wing

Advance Auto had some 2 Inch panel push rivets. I wrapped mine in White Vinyl, trimmed a little edge piece at the base of the screw stud so it would fit into the holes from the wing and then used hot glue on the inside to seal it off from water. Cost me about $6.

Plugs look like poo. If you don't mind the poo look...then go for it.

Those are also substantially smaller plugs.

unfortunately, no. just know the holes in the back are ridiculously big for some reason. the holes are actually 3 different sizes, which is pretty annoying. it you look where the spoiler is bolted in the trunk, you can get a good idea of the size, and how they are shaped.
