I'm planning on removing my spoiler and filling the holes with painted trim plugs / christmas tree plugs. I don't have a garage at the moment and it rains a lot in Florida so I want to do this in one sitting. This means I need to make sure I have all the right parts before I start. Does anybody know the diameter of the holes left in the trunk after removing the spoiler including the diameter between the strange hook shaped holes? I'm hoping to find a plug that will fit in the center hole and still cover them up. I cant measure them from the inside because there is an extra piece of metal in the way and I don't want to take the spoiler off yet because of said rain issue. I know this isn't the "real" way to do this but but any info would be great. Thanks.

 

weeeell, first.. what trim level is it?

 

I have a 2007 SS/SC

 

okay, heres where I became upset, and I'm sure you will too.

I'm not 100% sure, but its something I would look at.
Thanks to our huge high rise, we have two round holes that are easy to fill with a plug, as well as two semi-circle holes around it for some glue to come through.
I would take your trunklid liner out and make sure, but I'm almost positive they're there.

 

I just read your entire post, and I completely skipped the part about where you talked about the other holes... bahaha.

Electrical tape ftw.

 

Yeah I might end up having to do that temporarily so I can measure the size and get the right part.

 

from what I've heard, alot of people do that. or vinyl.

 

Blue painters tape inside and out. Its waterproof, and stays on at 100+. Take a sharpie and color it black. Then when you have some extra scratch find a shop to fill em in. Or, do the body work yourself and just have them repaint the deck lid. Body work is not hard. It requires patience, and a nice cold 6 pack to keep the stress level in check. Take your time, and the shop will have minimal finishing sanding to do.

 

So I removed one side of the spoiler today to measure the holes and noticed 3 things....

1- OMG the paint. Its flaked off down to the bare metal all under the pillar.
2- I do not have those odd hook shaped holes in my trunk, only two round ones.
3- The holes are 8mm in diameter
