Lightbulb Wingless ideas

I have been wanting to go wingless for a while now but have not found any trunks from balts that dont have the holes in them to replace mine. How is everyone else doing it? Am i missing something?

they usually just trunk swap it for another one. So basiclly if u see a 2.2 on the street wave him down see if he wants to swap

i think a lot of people just bondo in the holes and paint, usually letting a professional do it ofcourse. Taking off the wing seemed like a pain in the ass though, i tried for a couple minutes then said screw it, i don't care that much about it. They have so much sticky **** under there, its ridiculous. I don't think our cars look good without wings unless they're lowered anyways.

I guess do it if thats what u want. Im sure the first one you try to trade with will do it, but i bet your gonna miss the look of it. I think its what makes our car stand out but thats just my opinion.

i just like the way the car looks without it but i know that i would prob miss the spoiler eventually so thats why i am trying to find different ways to do this. i have been checking the junk yards for wrecked yellow cobalts but haven't come across one. Oh and i tried to take the spoiler off but all that junk under made me want to wait and not take it off.

I personally will be switching to a carbon fiber deck lid w/o putting the wing back on. Will reduce weight quite a bit, look hot, and allow me to actually use my rearview mirror. Then selling the parts on ebay to try a break close to even.
